Nitrobenzene, C6H5NO2, an important raw material for the dye industry, is prepared from benzene, C6H6 (molar weight 78.1 g/mol ), and nitric acid, HNOO3 according to the following chemical equation: C6H6(l)+HNO3(l)→C6H5NO2(l)+H2O(l) a. When 22.4 g of benzene and an excess of nitric acid are used, what is the theoretical yieid of nitrobenzene (molar weight 123.1 g/mol )? Theoretical yield = 9 b. If 32.0 g of nitrobenzene is recovered, what is the percentage yield? Percentage yield =
