Nitrobenzene contained in 310 mg of an organic mixture was reduced to phenylhydroxylamine at a constant potential of 20.96 V applied to a mercury cathode: C6H5NO2 + 4H+ + 4e- → C6H5NHOH + H2O. The sample was dissolved in 100 mL of methanol. After 30 min of electrolysis, the reaction was considered complete. An electron coulometer in series with the cell indicated that the reduction required 33.74 C. Calculate the percentage of C6H5NO2 in the sample.
