Dissolve benzophenone, (100mg) and (30mg) of naphthalene in acetone (10ml), then add prop-2-ol (150ml). Transfer the solution to a 500ml volumetric flask and make up to the mark - with propan-2-ol.
(i) Describe the mechanism for the photoreaction between benzophenone and solvent. (ii) Explain the observed dependence of the photoreaction on the solvent.
