JEE Main 2021 (Online) 18th March Evening Shift Chemistry - Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids Question 126 English
Consider the above reaction where 6.1 g of Benzoic acid is used to get 7.8 g of m-bromo benzoic acid. The percentage yield of the product is __________

(Round off to the Nearest Integer).

[Given : Atomic masses : C : 12.0 u, H : 1.0 u, O : 16.0 u, Br : 80.0 u]
Answer
78

Explanation

Moles of Benzoic acid = $${{6.1} \over {122}}$$ = moles of m-bromobenzoic acid

So, weight of m-bromobenzoic acid = $${{6.1} \over {122}}$$ $$\times$$ 201 gm

= 10.05 gm

% yield = $${{Actual\,weight} \over {Theoretical\,weight}} \times 100$$

$$ = {{7.8} \over {10.05}} \times 100$$ = 77.61%
