Answer :
Answer:
For a): The mass percent of naphthalene in the original sample is 31.00 %.
For b): The mass percent of 3-nitroaniline in the original sample is 32.03 %.
For c): The mass percent of benzoic acid in the original sample is 29.97 %.
For d): The total percent recovered is 93.00 %.
Explanation:
Percentage by mass is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100. The formula used for this is:
[tex]\text{Percent by mass}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Mass of a solution}} \times 100[/tex] ......(1)
a):
Mass of naphthalene = 0.483 g
Mass of the sample = 1.558 g
Plugging values in equation 1:
[tex]\%\text{ mass of naphthalene}=\frac{0.483 g}{1.558}\times 100\\\\\%\text{ mass of naphthalene}=31.00 \%[/tex]
b):
Mass of 3-nitroaniline = 0.499 g
Mass of the sample = 1.558 g
Plugging values in equation 1:
[tex]\%\text{ mass of 3-nitroaniline}=\frac{0.499 g}{1.558}\times 100\\\\\%\text{ mass of 3-nitroaniline}=32.03 \%[/tex]
c):
Mass of benzoic acid = 0.467 g
Mass of the sample = 1.558 g
Plugging values in equation 1:
[tex]\%\text{ mass of benzoic acid}=\frac{0.467 g}{1.558}\times 100\\\\\%\text{ mass of benozic acid}=29.97 \%[/tex]
d):
Total mass recovered = [0.483 + 0.499 + 0.467] = 1.449 g
Mass of the sample = 1.558 g
Plugging values in equation 1:
[tex]\text{Total percent recovered}=\frac{1.449 g}{1.558}\times 100\\\\\text{Total percent recovered}=93.00\%[/tex]
