Consider the following reaction :
If % yield of reaction is x, tvalue of x /10 is (nearest integer)
Correct Answer :
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 ()
Molar mass of aniline =
Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of aniline
Step 3: Calculate the molar mass of acetanilide 'P' ()
Molar mass of acetanilide =
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.
Step 5: Calculate the percentage yield (x) of the reaction
Step 6: Calculate the value of x / 10
Rounding to the nearest integer, we get:
