5 ~g of benzene on nitration gave 6.6 ~g of nitrobenzene. The theoretical yield of the nitrobenzene will be
Options
- A4.5 ~g
- B5.6 ~g
- C8.09 ~g
- D6.6 ~g
Correct answer
C. 8.09 ~g
Step-by-step solution
C ₆ H ₆+ HNO ₃ C ₆ H ₅ NO ₂+ H ₂ O 78 ~g 123 ~g Now since 78 ~g of benzene on nitration give =123 ~g nitrobenzene hence 5 ~g of benzene on nitration give = 123 78 5=7.88 ~g nearest answer is (c) i.e. theoritical yield =7.88 ~g
