The mass of benzanilide obtained from the benzoylation reaction of 5.8 g of aniline, if yield of product is 82%, is _____ g (nearest integer). (Given molar mass in gmol−1 H: 1, C: 12, N: 14, O: 16)
Answer: 10
Solution
Benzoylation of aniline (C6H5NH2, M=93gmol−1) gives benzanilide (C6H5CONHC6H5, M=197gmol−1) in a 1:1 mole ratio. The aniline taken is 935.8=0.0624 mol, so at 82% yield the benzanilide formed is 0.0624×0.82=0.0512 mol. Its mass is 0.0512×197=10.1g. The mass of benzanilide obtained is 10g.
