2-Iodobenzoic acid, a tan, crystalline solid, can be prepared from 2-aminobenzoic acid. Other required reagents are NaNO₂ and KI (as well as HCl).

(a) If you use 4.0 g of 2-aminobenzoic acid, 2.2 g of NaNO₂, and 5.3 g of KI, what is the theoretical yield of 2 iodobenzoic acid?
(b) Are other isomers of 2-iodobenzoic acid possible?
(c) You titrate the product in a mixture of water and ethanol. If you use 15.62 mL of 0.101 M NaOH to titrate 0.399 g of the product, what is its molar mass? Is it in reasonable agreement with the theoretical molar mass?
