In a reaction of phenylmagnesium bromide with 2-butanone, the Grignard reagent was prepared from 25.0g of bromobenzene and was treated with a solution of 12.0g of 2 butanone in 50.0mL of ether which was contaminated with 2% by volume of water. Calculate the amount of benzene (in g ) that would be produced and the theoretical yield (in g) of 2-phenyl-2-butanol corrected for loss due to reaction of the Grignard reagent with water. (Hint: the initial moles of Grignard reagent equals the maximum yield of Grignard reagent possible minus the moles of Grignard reagent destroyed by water)
