Calculate % yield of triphenylmethanol (crude and pure)
Remember it is a two step calculations, so you should obtain thefollowing to aid in the calculations: the mass of first reagent,mass of second reagent (including HCl – Vol & Density), andmoles of both reagents (for each procedure). Then set up a BalancedStoichiometric Equation, determine the molar ratio, determinelimiting reagent and compute the theoretical yield.
These are the values:
Bromobenzene + Magnesium ïƒ -->Phenylmagnesium Bromide
Phenylmagnesium Bromide + Benzophenone --->ïƒ Triphenylmethanol + Magnesium BromideHydroxide
0.1538g of Mg 0.9mL Bromo/Ether solution 1.0910 benzophenone +2mL ether —-> 0.349g
  6mL of 6M HCl 2mL diethyl ether 0.301gtriphenylmethanol (recrystalized and weighed 0.201 gtriphenylmethanol)
