My teacher gives us tables to fill out, and I am really confused about how to go about it. Usually she gives us a few bits of information, but I need to learn how to do the conversions on my own. A table usually looks like this (with some procedure text):

compound mp/bp, C MW (g/mol) equi mmol g density (g/mL) mL
thiamine-HCl mp, 260 (dec) 337.3 (solid) XXX
benzaldehyde bp, 178-179 1.044
NaOH, 10% (w/v) XXX 40.0 XXX

This table is an example for the formation of benzoin. The procedure involves .420 g thiamene HCl, 1.0 mL 10% NaOH, and 1.20 mL of benzaldehyde. I can fill in those things, but I don't know how to fill in the other blanks. For example, how do you calculate equiv (from any of the above)?

From here, how do I calculate theoretical yield? I know that I need to start with the limiting reagent, but how do I determine which one that is?

Thanks!!!! I can usually get help from my friends, but I need to know how to do these calculations (specifically equiv and mmol) on my own.
