Your Grignard synthesis consisted of two consecutive reactions (indicated as A and B below). In the first, bromobenzene was reacted with magnesium metal to make the Grignard reagent. In the second, the Grignard reagent was reacted with benzophenone to make triphenylmethanol as the final product. The number of moles of the various chemicals are given in the reaction scheme below, use these to answer the questions. Problem viewing the image, Click Here 1. What is the percent chemical yield of the first reaction that makes the Grignard reagent, A? [1] 2. What is the percent chemical yield of the second reaction that forms the triphenylmethanol from the Grignard, B? [2]  

From these three different syntheses, A, B and C. Of these three, one is reversible and the Le Chatelier principle needs to be applied to force product formation. Based on the descriptions of the three reaction procedures below, indicate which most likely takes advantage of the Le Chatelier principle. A: Two liquid reactants are mixed and stirred for about 10 minutes. As the mixture is stirred the solid product precipitates from the liquid reaction mixture. The solid product is recrystallized and the melting point taken. B: Two liquid reactants are mixed and stirred for one hour. At the end of the reaction period the mixture is extracted with sulfuric acid in water to leave the liquid product behind. The liquid product is characterized using IR spectroscopy. C: Two liquid reactants are mixed and stirred for one hour. At the end of the reaction period, the mixture is extracted with a solution of sodium hydroxide in water. The aqueous extract is acidified and the liquid product is then extracted from the aqueous layer with diethyl ether. The liquid product is isolated by drying the diethyl ether and removing it by evaporation. The liquid product is characterized using IR spectroscopy.
