I think 8, because you have to end up with a balanced equation.
(4.5 x 10^24 molecules) x (60.013 g / 6.022 x 10^23) = 448 grams or 4.484 x 10^2 grams = Answer
Benzene is produced as a side product when water react with phenyl magnesium bromide during Grignard reactions.
<h3>What is Grignard Reaction ? </h3>
The Grignard reaction involves an R-Mg-X, a carbon chain bound to a magnesium halide, used to form alcohols by attacking carbonyls such as in aldehydes or ketones.
Here R act as a nucleophile and Mg-X act as a electrophile. Instead of attacking carbonyl, which is present in the reaction, the benzene ring will attack water molecules present around, grabbing a H⁺ and pushing away MgBr .
The required reaction is :
PhMgBr + H₂O → Ph-H + MgBrOH
Thus from the above conclusion we can say that it is always advised to use dry Grignard to avoid this reaction.
