Methylation of 10 g of benzene give 9.2 g of toluene. Calculate the percentage yield of toluene ______. (Nearest integer)
Answer: 78
Solution
Methylation converts one mole of benzene into at most one mole of toluene. The amount of benzene taken is mol, so the theoretical yield of toluene, of molar mass , is g. The actual yield is 9.2 g, so
The percentage yield of toluene is .
The percentage yield of toluene is .
