Aniline (C6H5NH2) can be produced from chlorobenzene (C6H5Cl) via the following reaction: C6H5Cl (l) + 2 NH3 (g) ⟶ C6H5NH2 (l) + NH4Cl (s) Assume that 20.0 g of chlorobenzene at 92% purity is mixed with 8.30 g of ammonia. a) Which is the limiting reactant? b) Which reactant is present in excess? c) What is the theoretical yield of ammonium chloride in grams? d) If 4.78 g of NH4Cl was recovered, what was the percent yield? e) How many grams of a the limiting reagent must be used to isolate 10.20 g of C6H5NH2? Assume this is a separate experiment than the one described above. Also assume a purity of 92% for chlorobenzene and the same percent yield.
