Acetanilide (C6H5NHCOCH3, M = 135.2) can be prepared from aniline (C6H5NH2, M = 93.1) and acetic anhydride ([CH3CO]2O, M = 102.1) according to the balanced equation below. C6H5NH2 + (CH3CO)2O → C6H5NHCOCH3 + CH3COOH If 10.0 g acetanilide is isolated from the reaction of 10.0 g aniline with 10.0 g acetic anhydride, what is the percent yield of the reaction?

Question

Acetanilide (C6H5NHCOCH3, M = 135.2) can be
prepared from aniline (C6H5NH2, M = 93.1) and acetic
anhydride ([CH3CO]2O, M = 102.1) according to the
balanced equation below.


C6H5NH2 + (CH3CO)2O →
C6H5NHCOCH3 + CH3COOH


If 10.0 g acetanilide is isolated from the reaction of 10.0
g aniline with 10.0 g acetic anhydride, what is the percent
yield of the reaction?
