Question

Calculate the individual percent recoveries of benzoic acid, naphthalene and 3-nitroaniline if you were able to collect 9.75 g of benzoic acid, 6.41 g of naphthalene, and 7.71 g of 3-nitroaniline from a set of extractions. The starting mass of the mixture was 26.24 g. (0.6 pt)

Answer 1

Benzoic acid= 37.16%

Naphthalene = 24.43%

3-Nitroaniline= 29.38%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given:

percentage recovery of benzonic acid = 9.75/26.24 * 100 = 37.16%

Percentage recovery of napthalene = 6.41/26.24 * 100 = 24.43%

Percentage recovery of 3-nitroaniline = 7.71/26.24 * 100 = 29.38%
