Answer:

hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

What effect would each of the following have on the success of the recrystallization of benzoic acid from hexane?

The hot solution of the benzoic acid in hexane is immediately placed in an ice bath.

answer : The benzoic acid will start crystallizing almost immediately

Step-by-step explanation:

The effect of placing a hot solution containing dissolved benzoic acid immediately in an ice bath on recrystallization of benzoic acid from Hexane is that the benzoic acid will start crystallizing almost immediately and this is because it is a polar compound, and it has a high solubility in hot hexane,

After been cooled off it will recrystallize again.
