The pain killer acetaminophen,C8H9NO2, is produced by reactionof p-aminophenol, C6H7NO, with aceticanhydride, C4H6O3, as shownbelow.
C6H7NO+ C4H6O3 → C8H9NO2 + C2H4O2What is the E-factor in the formation of acetaminophen (to4 significant figures)?
Molar masses (M) :C8H9NO2 = 151.2 gmol-1 C2H4O2 = 60.05 gmol-1
