Hello I desperately need help with this chemistry problem. I know this is a physics site but it was the closest I could get to for chemistry. I would appreciate any help at all.
Acetaminophen (C8H9O2N) is produced by the following three step synthesis:
I. C6H5O3N (s) + 3 H2 (g) + HCL (aq) --(arrow) C6H8ONCl (s) + 2 H2O (l)
II. C6H8ONCl (s) + NaOH (aq) --(arrow) C6H7ON (s) +H2O (l) + NaCl (aq)
III. C6H7ON (s) + C4H6O3 (l) --(arrow) C8H9O2N (s) + HC2H3O2 (l)
Note the numbers after letters are subscripts
The 1st 2 reactions ahve percent yields of 87% and 98 % and the overall reaction yields 3 mol of acetaminophen product for every 4 mol of C6H5O3N reacted. The questions I need are what is the percent yield by mass for the overall process and what is the ercent yield by mass of step III? Thanks for any help:)
