20- In the lab, you prepared phenylmagnesium bromide reagent using 0.81 g magnesium turnings (MW- 24.31 g/mol) and 3.6 mL bromobenzene (MW- 157.01 g/mol, density- 1.50 g/mL) in 15 mL diethyl ether (MW-74.12 g/mol, density - 0.713 g/mol). You then added 2.04 g benzophenone (182.217 g/mol) which was previously dissolved in 6.0 mL of diethyl ether solution to the phenylmagnesium bromide solution.What is the theoretical yield for triphenylcarbinol (MW- 260.33 g/mol) in grams? with the appropriate number of significant figures.
