Q 11 :

In the Claisen-Schmidt reaction to prepare dibenzalacetone from 5.3 g of benzaldehyde, a total of 3.51 g of product was obtained. The percentage yield in this reaction was _____%.                        [2025]



(60)

Moles of benzaldehyde initially taken (nC6H5CHO)

=Mass of C6H5CHOMolar mass of C6H5CHO=5.3106=0.05mol

For 100% yield of the reaction, 2 mol of benzaldehyde give 1 mol of dibenzalacetone, so 0.05 mol of benzaldehyde give 0.025 mol of dibenzalacetone.

Actual moles of dibenzalacetone obtained

= Mass of dibenzalacetone obtainedMolar mass of dibenzalacetone=3.51234=0.015mol

Percentage yield

= Actual moles of dibenzalacetone obtainedMoles of dibenzalacetone for 100% yield×100

=0.0150.025×100=60%
