A group of students was tasked with synthesizing dibenzalacetone
(DBA) in the lab. They used acetone as limiting reagent, calculated
their TY to be 8.0 g DBA, obtained 14.0 g crude product (wet) and
their % Yield was 65%.
What was the actual yield for their final product
(recrystallized, dry DBA)?
What was the minimum volume (ml) of ethanol they needed to
recrystallize their wet crude?
What was the amount of impurities (side products, moisture,...)
contained in their wet crude?
