In the following reaction
The % yield for reaction I is 60% and that of reaction II is 50%. The overall yield of the complete reaction is___% [nearest integer]
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
30
(30)
(I)
Let initial moles of reactant taken = n
Total moles obtained for benzene sulphonic acid (with % yield - 60%) = 0.6n
(II)
Moles of benzene sulphonic acid before reaction II = 0.6n
Moles obtained for phenol (with % yield = 50%) = 0.6x0.5n=0.3n
So over all % yield of complete reaction =
