Chemistry

a) Show the full balanced equation of Benzaldehyde + SodiumCyanide -> Benzoin. Stoichiometry ratio should be 2:1. Ratio of-CN to benzoic is 1:1 if that even helps. Rely on Sodium Cyanidebeing 0.54M in 95% Ethanol. b) Use the density of benzaldehyde tocalculate its mass. 400 microliters were used in my experiment, andthe MW is 106.13. C) Thus, Find the Limiting Reagent, Theoreticalyield, and % Yield of Benzoin. Obtained yield in experiment was.0246g benzoin crystals, and again, 400microliters of benzaldehydeused AND 4mL of Sodium Cyanide (0.54M in95% ethanol) was used.PLEASE SHOW NICE LEGIBLE WORK SO I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOINGON.
