The solubility of a compound is shown in methanol, water, and ethyl acetate. Based on the solubility information given below, select the solvent that would be the best recrystallization solvent.

Map dc sapling leaming The solubility of a compound is shown in methanol, water, and ethyl acetate. Based on the solubility information given below, select the solvent that would be the best recrystallization solvent. The compound's solubility in methanol is 58 g per 100 mL when hot and 30 g per 100 mL when col O The compound's solubility in ethyl acetate is 0.2 g per 100 mL when hot and 0.1 g per 100 mL when cold O The compound's solubility in water is 8 g per 100 mL when hot and 0.2 g per 100 mL when cold.
