Question:

Nitrobenzene, C6H5NO2, an important raw material for the dye industry, is prepared from benzene, C6H6, and nitric acid, HNO3.
C6H6(l) + HNO3(l) → C6H5NO2(l) + H2O(l)
When 22.4 g of benzene and an excess of HNO3 are used, what is the theoretical yield of nitrobenzene? If 31.6 g of nitrobenzene is recovered, what is the percentage yield?
