explain why washing an impure solid with a cold solvent is not good as recrystallization for removing all the soluble impurities?
why is the final product from a recrystallization isolated by a suction rather than gravity filtration?
Answered by DrBob222
Recrystallization tends to leave out the impurities because they don't fit into th crystal lattice.

Or another way is that washing with a solvent will not remove material trapped in the solid.
