In the "Nitration of Naphthalene" lab, a student mixed 1.282 g
of naphthalene with 2.0 ml of the mixed acids (HNO3 H2SO4
1:1). After the experiment, he isolated 0.871 g of pure 1-
nitronaphthalene. Please calculate the percent yield for the
student. (M.W.naphthalene = 128.2 g/mol, M.W. nitric acid
=63.01g/mol, M.W. 1-nitronaphthalene =173.16 g/mol,
Density nitric acid =1.51 g/ml)
Select one:
O a. 50.3%
O b. 87.1%
O c. 63.1%
O d. 45.2%
