Question

Can you suggest some possible reasons for using a mixture of water and
ethanol (1:1 mixture H2O/EtOH) as crystallizing solvent rather than using
either pure ethanol or pure water?
One possible reason could be that the compound to be isolated is too soluble in water or too soluble in EtOH.
