    Uploaded by

    ARYAN CHAVAN
    The document summarizes an experiment to synthesize dibenzalacetone through the reaction of benzaldehyde and acetone. It provides the amounts of reactants used, the crude and recrystallized product weights obtained, and calculations to determine the theoretical and percent actual yields. The limiting reagent was found to be acetone. The actual yield was 1.5401 g, 67.7% of the theoretical yield of 2.2727 g. The literature melting point of dibenzalacetone is 110-111°C.

    EXPERIMENT –4: SYNTHESIS AND

    RECRYSTALLIZATION OF DIBENZALACETONE
    Observations and Results:

    2.1 g
    Amount of Benzaldehyde taken: 2.08 mL = 2.1 g = moles
    Mol. wt of benzaldehyde

    2.1 g
    = =0.019811 moles
    106 g per mol

    0.566 g
    Amount of acetone used: 0.67 mL = 0.566 g = moles
    Mol. wt of acetone

    0.566 g
    = =¿ 0.009758 moles
    58 g per mol

    [2 Marks]

    Weight of the crude product (x): 2.78 g

    Weight of the crude product used for recrystallization (y) : 1g

    Weight of recrystallized product from y gram of crude product (z): 0.554 g

    0.554
    Actual/Observed yield (corresponding to x g) is (z/y)*x: x 2.78 g
    1g

    =1.54012 g [2 Marks]

    Limiting Reagent for yout reaction is Acetone

    Reason:2 moles of benzaldehyde reacts with 1 mole of acetone in the reaction .We have
    0.019811 moles of benzaldehyde .Thus theoretically ,it must react with 0.01981/2=0.009905
    moles of acetone .However we only have 0.009758 moles of acetone.Hence,acetone is the
    limiting reagent of the reaction . [2 Marks]

    Theoretical yield (show calculations) = (No. of moles of the limiting reagent)*234.297 g/mole

    =(No. of moles of acetone)*234.297 g/mol

    =0.0097x234.297

    = 2.2727 g [2+1=3 Marks]

    Percent yield of pure product (show calculations) = (Actual yield/theoretical yield)*100

    1.5401
    = x 100
    2.2727

    =67.7652% [2 Marks]
