Consider the volumes of benzaldehyde and acetone that you used for your scaled-down version of the lab (as described on the Aldo
l Condensation page and in the Aldol Lab quiz), and consider how these reactants are added to the reaction mixture. There is a potential problem associated with the preparation and addition of the benzaldehyde/acetone mixture, which would be exacerbated by the scaling down of the reaction. What is this problem, and why would this become a bigger problem at smaller scale
