A student was supposed to carry an aldol reaction between benzaldehyde and acetone, in ethanolic solution of NaOH. However, after adding benzaldehyde to NaOH the student went to ask the instructor about grading on the last report. After the chat was over, the student came back to add acetone, but noticed that a white precipitate was formed in the reaction flask. What is the precipitate and how did it form? (Hint: Cannizzaro reaction).
