Benzaldehyde (, molar mass ) is converted into cinnamic acid by the Perkin reaction with an isolated yield of . All of the cinnamic acid is dissolved and titrated to the equivalence point with NaOH. What volume of NaOH is needed? Give the answer in mL, to the nearest integer.

Numerical answer type, answer in mL, tolerance 0.5.

Answer: 128 mL

Moles of benzaldehyde . Cinnamic acid formed (1:1) at yield mol. Cinnamic acid is monobasic, so moles NaOH and volume .
