please write a balanced eqaution for this reaction

Lab 8: Preparation of an a B-Unsaturated Ketone via Michael and Aldol Condensation Reactions of an a, B-Unsaturated Ketone via Michael and Aldol Condensation Reactions Finally, the aldol intermediate is dehydrated to form the final product, 6-ethoxycarbonyl-3,5-diphenyl-2-cyclohexenone. The a Bunsaturated ketone that is formed is very stable because of the conjugation of the double bond with both the carbonyl group and a phenyl group.

Be sure to keep the top on the bottle when not in use. D WASTE DISPOSAL Dispose of all aqueous wastes containing ethanol in the bottle designated for aque- ous wastes. Ethanolic filtrates from the crystallization of the product should be poured into the nonhalogenated organic waste container THE INSTRUCTOR The trans-chalcone (Aldrich Chemical Co., No. 13,612-3) should be finely ground for use. The 95% ethanol used in this experiment contains 5% water. Assembling the Apparatus. To a 50-mL round-bottom flask, add 1.2g of finely ground trans- chalcone, 0.75 g of ethyl acetoacetate, dissolves and place a boiling stone in the flask. Add 1 pellet (between 0.090 and 0.120 g) of sodium hydroxide. Weigh the pellet quickly before it begins to absorb water. Attach a condenser to the round-botom flask and heat the mixture to r and 25 mL of 95% ethanol. Swirl the flask until the solid reflux
