Chapter 6, Problem 6.53AP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The limiting reagent for the given reaction with listed value has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Nitrobenzene $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}{\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}\right)$ is used in small quantities as a flavoring agent or in perfumes, but can be toxic in large amounts.

Mole calculation: $\text{No}\text{.of mole = }\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar}\text{mass}}$

By dividing mass by it molar mass given the no.of moles.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The theoretical yield for this reaction has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Limiting reagent: The reactant that runs out first in any given reaction is said to be limiting reagent.

Theoretical yield: The amount of product formed, assuming complete reaction of the limiting reagent.

Actual yield: The amount of product actually formed in a reaction.

Percent yield: The percentage of the theoretical yield actually obtained from a chemical reaction.

$\text{Percent yield =}\frac{\text{Actual}\text{yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$
