Show Answer

Correct Answer :

8

Solution :

The correct answer is 8.

Step-by-step Explanation:

From the reaction shown in the image, aniline reacts with acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine (Py) to yield acetanilide as product 'P'.
The given masses in the reaction scheme are:
Mass of reactant aniline = 9.3 g
Mass of product 'P' (acetanilide) obtained = 11 g

Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of aniline (C6H5NH2)
Molar mass of aniline = (6×12)+(7×1)+14=93 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of aniline
Moles of aniline=9.3 g93 g/mol=0.1 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molar mass of acetanilide 'P' (C8H9NO)
Molar mass of acetanilide = (8×12)+(9×1)+14+16=135 g/mol

Step 4: Calculate the theoretical yield of acetanilide
According to the balanced chemical equation, 1 mole of aniline reacts to yield 1 mole of acetanilide.
Therefore, theoretical moles of acetanilide = 0.1 mol.
Theoretical yield of acetanilide=0.1 mol×135 g/mol=13.5 g

Step 5: Calculate the percentage yield (x) of the reaction
x=Actual yieldTheoretical yield×100
x=1113.5×10081.48%

Step 6: Calculate the value of x / 10
x10=81.4810=8.148

Rounding to the nearest integer, we get:
x108
