A second recrystallization was performed on the trimyristin using the minimal amount of acetone to dissolve the solid. The liquid solution was heated till boiling and cooled at room temperature for ten minutes. The solution was then cooled in an ice bath for another 10 minutes. The product was dried, and the mass was determined. The melting point of the twice recrystallized trimyristin was found and the percent recovery after the first recrystallization was determined.
