Question

This is for Aldol Condensation Lab:

Why was the acetone the limiting reagent for this lab? What would have likely happened if benzaldehyde was the limiting reagent instead?

What is the driving force for this reaction? What physical property also assists in keeping the equilibrium headed towards product?

The same physical property that helps drive the reaction to completion can also stall out the reaction before it starts. What do we do in the procedure that helps minimize this concern?

What is this reaction classified as?
