The aspirin substitute acetaminophen (C8H9O2N) is produced
Chapter 3, Problem 3.96(choose chapter or problem)
The aspirin substitute acetaminophen (C8H9O2N) is produced by the following three-step synthesis: I. C6H5O3N(s) 1 3H2(g) 1 HCl(aq) 88n C6H8ONCl(s) 1 2H2O(l) II. C6H8ONCl(s) 1 NaOH(aq) 88n C6H7ON(s) 1 H2O(l) 1 NaCl(aq) III. C6H7ON(s) 1 C4H6O3(l) 88n C8H9O2N(s) 1 HC2H3O2(l) The first two reactions have percent yields of 87% and 98% by mass, respectively. The overall reaction yields 3 moles of acetaminophen product for every 4 moles of C6H5O3N reacted. a. What is the percent yield by mass for the overall process? b. What is the percent yield by mass of step III?
