Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The reaction of benzoyl chloride with NH₄OH to produce benzamide is:
Benzoyl chloride + ammonia → Benzamide + NH₄Cl
Molar mass of benzoyl chloride: 140.57 g/mol. Density 1.21g/mL
Molar mass benzamide: 121.14g/mol.
To know percent yield you must know the theoretical yield of the reaction (How many grams are produced assuming a yield of 100%). Percent yield will be (Actual yield / Theoretical Yield) ₓ 100
Moles of 2.83mL of benzoyl chloride are:
2.83mL ₓ (1.21g/mL) ₓ (1mol / 140.57g) = 0.02436 moles of benzoyl chloride.
As 1 mole of benzoyl chloride produce 1 mole of benzamide (Theoretical yield), theoretical moles of benzamide produced are 0.02436. In mass:
0.02436 moles ₓ (121.14g / mol) = 2.95g of benzoyl chloride
As there are produced just 1.95, percent yield is:
(1.95g / 2.95g) ₓ 100 = 66.1%
