Answer:
It will lead to overestimation of the percent recovery
Explanation:
The percent recovery refers to the percentage of the pure compound recovered after a chemical process. It is a ratio of the pure compound recovered to the original substance multiplied by 100%.
If the sample was incompletely dried and the recrystallization solvent is still present, the percent recovery will be overestimated and we will have a value that is greater than the accurate percent recovery due to solvent impurities present.
