Answer #1

Yes the products of hydrolysis of acetanilide can be discarded as impurities because in the recrystallization we hydrolise to remove the water soluble impurities present in the acetanilide. When we hydrolyse it the impurity dissolves in water and the solubility of acetanilide in 100 ml water is 0.53 gm at 0 degree C and 0.56 gm at 25 degree C so a very negligible amount of acetanilide is soluble in water means the pure acetanilide will precipitated and all impurity and very less amount of acetanilide is present in water. So this product of hydrolysis can be discarded.
