Question: From the aldol condensation of 1.0 mL of acetone with 1.5 mL of formaldehyde yielding the product penta-1,4-dien-3-one, determine the percent yield if 0.94

From the aldol condensation of 1.0 mL of acetone with 1.5 mL 

From the aldol condensation of 1.0 mL of acetone with 1.5 mL of formaldehyde yielding the product penta-1,4-dien-3-one, determine the percent yield if 0.94 grams of product was recovered. NOTE: First identify the limiting reagent, assume it will undergo two successive aldol reactions. Give only value for percent yield as shown, 50.2. Molecular weight (MW) and density (d) provided acetone: MW 58.08 g/mol, d 0.785 g/mL formaldehyde: MW 30.03 g/mol, d 0.815 g/mL penta-1,4-dien-3-one: 82.1 g/mol
