Q.

9.3 g of pure aniline is treated with bromine water at room temperature to give a white precipitate of the product ‘P’. The mass of product ‘P’ obtained is 26.4 g. The percentage yield is ______ %.                    [2024]


Ans.

(80)

nC6H5NH2=WC6H5NH2MC6H5NH2=9.3 g93 gmol-1=0.1 mol

nC6H3Br3NH2=WC6H3Br3NH2MC6H3Br3NH2=26.4 g330 gmol-1=0.08 mol

If the reaction was 100% complete, the moles of C6H3Br3NH2 would be 0.1 mol.

Percentage yield of reaction=Amount of product formedAmount of product expected for 100% yield×100

=0.080.1×100=80%
