When the Grignard reaction begins to slow down, place 10 g of crushed dry ice in a 150 mL beaker. Do not take time to weigh the dry ice. Use approximately the amount in the beaker indicated by your instructor. The CO2 is in large excess and will not affect your calculation of percent yield of benzoic acid product. Cover the beaker with a watch glass. 2. When most of the magnesium has reacted and the ether boiling subsides, quickly pour the contents of the tube into the beaker containing dry ice. 3. Add a few milliliters of ether to the test tube and swirl to rinse. Add the rinse liquid to the beaker. 4. Cover the beaker with the watch glass and allow it to stand until the next lab period. During the interim, the excess dry ice will have sublimed. 5.
