Explanation / Answer

Answer – We are asking for the writing the balanced equation for the synthesis of benzoin.

So it is as follow-

4 C14H10O2+ NaBH4 + 4 CH3OH --> 4 C14H12O2 + NaB(OCH3)4

We are given mas of product, means mass of benzoin (C14H12O2) = 0.0244 g

Moles of benzoin (C14H14O2) = 0.0244 g / 212.24 g.mol-1

                                                = 0.000115 moles of product.
