Question
Aniline is prepared from nitrobenzene with 75% yield. To get 93 g of aniline (M=93), grams of nitrobenzene (M=123) needed are:
- A123 g
- B164 gCorrect
- C246 g
- D82 g
Correct answer
164 g
Explanation
Moles aniline needed = 93/93 = 1 mol. At 75% yield: moles nitrobenzene = 1/0.75 = 1.333 mol. Mass = 1.333 × 123 = 164 g.
