Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The theoretical yield of acetaminophen from 80 g of 4-aminpphenol needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The theoretical yield is defined as the amount of product formed from the limiting reactant present in the solution. The correct balanced chemical equation is used to determine the amount of product formed from the given reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The percent yield needs to be calculated if the reaction yields 65.5 g of acetaminophen.
Concept Introduction:
The ratio of actual yield to its theoretical is percentage yield. It is obtained by dividing the value obtained from the experimental result by the value obtained in calculation got from the theoretical computation. The obtained value is multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.
