Question

After performing the synthesis of Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) in the laboratory, two groups of Organic Chemistry students obtained the following experimental results for the mass of Acetaminophen (Paracetamol):

Theortical yield for acetaminophen (Paracetamol) = 7.82g 

Group 1: 8.205 g

Group 2: 6.528 g

Show ALL steps and mathematical equations involved in your calculations to help the students. Remember to label all steps clearly and use appropriate units in each step.
