The experiment done was the synthesis of p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid. I have lab questions that I am unsure how to do. Please help.
1. How many moles of p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid should form in this reaction?
2. What is the theorectical yield of 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (in grams)?
3. What is your actual yield of 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (in grams)?
if it helps the weight of the chloroacetic acid for the experiment used was 9.51 grams, the weight of the product was 4.77 g. The molar mass of chloroacetic acid is 94.50.
