F324 calculation

Assuming a yield by mass of 27% for 4-nitrophenol, calculate the mass of 4-nitrophenol that would be produced from 100 g of phenol. Show your working.
Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures.

mol phenol = 100/94 = 1.064

100% yield nitrophenol = 139 * 1.064 = 147.9g

27% = 0.27 * 147.9 = 39.92g
