A reaction was performed in which 0.55 g of 2-naphthol was reacted with a slight excess of 1-bromobutane to make 0.32 g of 2-butoxynaphthalene. Calculate the theoretical yield and percent yield for this reaction.

Theoretical yield=0.764 g.

Percent yield 42%.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case the undergoing chemical reaction is shown on the attached picture. In such a way, starting by the given mass of 2-naphtol, one computes the theoretical yielded grams of 2-butoxynaphthalene as shown below, considering their 1 to 1 molar relationship:

Moreover, the percent yield turns out:

Best regards.

i believe the answer is 5,000
