Amount of substance chemistry

To find the mass of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate produced, we need to use the percentage yield and the original mass of methyl benzoate.

First, we need to calculate the theoretical yield of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate by using the molecular weight of both compounds:

Theoretical yield = (1.70 g x 181.0 g/mol) / 136.0 g/mol = 2.26 g

Then, we can use the percentage yield to find the actual yield of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate:

Actual yield = 2.26 g x 65.0% = 1.47 g

Therefore, the answer is C) 1.47 g of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate is produced.
