Expert Solution
Step 1: Molar mass

The common name of 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanedione is benzil.

Now, the molecular formula of benzoin is C14H12O2.

So, the molar mass of benzoin is = [(12×14) + (1×12) + (16×2)] g/mol = (168 + 12 + 32) g/mol = 212 g/mol.

The molecular formula of benzil is C14H10O2.

Then, the molar mass of benzil is = [(12×14) + (1×10) + (16×2)] g/mol = (168 + 10 + 32) g/mol = 210 g/mol.

We have to calculate the theoretical mass and the percent yield of the reaction.
