Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Calculations - what is the theoretical yield and percent yield?

- eqt: methyl benzoate + HNO3 ----->(H2SO4 above arrow) Methyl-m-nitrobenzoate + H2O

- weight recovered = 1.834 g

-2.3 ml of methanol used

-1.10 ml of methyl benzoate added to 2.4 ml of sulfuric acid

-to the above mixture 0.8 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and 0.8 ml of concetrated nitric acid was added drop wise

Explanation of product isolation and purification of methyl m-nitrobenzoate (here is a summary of what the experiment entails: In this experiment, methyl m-nitrobenzoate will be prepared by the reaction of nitric acid and methyl benzoate in the presence of sulfuric acid catalyst. Synthesis of methyl m-nitrobenzoate will occur by placing methylbenzoate and concentrated sulfuric acid in a vial. An air condenser will be used to hold the vial in an ice bath. Concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid will...

Nitronium cation formation:: 1. Show the steps to calculate theoretical yield of nitronium ion (NO2+) in moles? Molecular weight of NO2+ is 46.01 g/mol. HNO3: molarity = 15.8 mol/L molecular weight = 63.01 g/mol volume added = 1 mL moles added = 0.0158 mol H2SO4: molarity = 18.4 mol/L molecular weight = 98.08 g/mol volume added = 2 mL moles added = 0.0372 mol Nitration of Methyl Benzoate:: 2. Calculate volume added (mL) of NO2+ AND moles (mol) added of...

An Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Reaction lab Hi I was just hoping that someone would be able to help me find the limiting reagent and theoretical yield. It is for the nitration of methyl benzoate. We are using 0.90 ml of methyl benzoate and adding 3.0 ml of H2SO4 and 1.0 ml of nitric acid. We will be adding 1.0 ml of sulfuric acid to the 0.9 ml of methyl benzoate. Then we will mix 2.0 ml of sulfuric acid to...

Fisher Esterification of m-nitrobenzoic acid to produce methyl-m-nitrobenzoate Calculations: See notes above for the amount of reagent we are planning to use in this experiment. (2/15 points) Limiting reagent – identify if nitric acid or benzoic acid is the limiting reagent for this reaction. Use the molar concentration of nitric acid to calculate the number of mols of this reagent. Theoretical yield – calculate how much is expected to be formed of your product WE will be using 1.5g of...
