Question

Calculate the percent yield and percent recovery for today's reaction. (Hint: to determine if the acids are the limiting reagent, you must know the concentration of the acids. See table). I got 5.170 g of product after performing experiment (nitration of methyl benzoate).

Calculate the percent yield and percent recovery for today's reaction. (Hint: to determine if the acids are the limiting reagent, you must know the concentration of the acids. See table). I got 5.170 g of product after performing experiment (nitration of methyl benzoate). concentrated acids and bases have defined molarities:

Explanation / Answer

1 mole of methyl benzoate reacted with 1 mole of HNO3 to yield 1 mole of m-nitro methyl benzoate.

The mass of obtained m-nitro methyl benzoate = 5.170 g

Mass of 1 mole of m-nitro methyl benzoate = 181 g

Percentage recovery = (5.170/181) * 100

Percentage recovery = 2.85%
