What impurity was likely removed during the recrystallization necessary and was it effective and why do you think so using the prcedure belwo and the reaction provided. PROCEDURE Synthesis of Dibenzalacetone (A) In this lab you will need to determine the amounts of the reactants you will use. We will use 0.0125 moles of acetone. You need to: (1) convert this into a volume in mL, (2) Calculate the number of moles of benzaldehyde needed based on the balanced chemical reaction, (3) Convert the number of moles of benzaldehyde into volume in mL. Your reagent table should reflect your calculated values. Mix the benzaldehyde and acetone based on the volumes from your prelab calculations in a testtube. Add 25 mL of 10% NaOH solution to a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask along with a stir bar and 20 mL of ethanol. Make sure the temperature of the solution in the flask is below 25 C before proceeding.
