hello,
crystallization lab
solutes:
Benzoic acid
anthracene
solvents:
water
methanol
acetic acid
acetone

resullts show that benzoic acid is slightly soluble in water but very slightly soluble in acetone. Now i know "like dissolves like" but isnt benzoic acid and acetone both polar and organic? shouldnt they be soluble? i need to discuss this in a paper.

thank you
