Organic Chemistry Question?
Benzene (1 g, 12.5 mmol) is allowed to react with 1-chloropropane (1 g, 12.5 mmol) and AlCl3. The product (1.2g) is subjected to analysis on a GLC equipped with a thermal conductivity detector. The chromatogram shows two product peaks identified as n-propylbenzene (area=65 mm^2, Wf=1.06) and isopropylbenzene (area=113 mm^2, Wf=1.09). Calculate the percent yield of each of the two isomeric products obtained in this reaction. Note that since each of the products has the same molar mass of 120, the use of weight factors gives both weight and mole percent composition.

There are two parts to this. First, determine the theoretical amount of propylbenzene and divide the 1.2 grams by this amount. This will give the combined yield. Then multiply the area x Wf to get a corrected area or weight of sample. Do for both, divide each by sum to get fraction of each. That fraction times the yield is the yield of each.

organic and organic is meant to be confusing ... I controlled to dodge taking it .... yet i'd say in case you think of which you will get right into a learn team and pass the classification regardless then i'd in simple terms take the classification and get it out of ways... sturdy success
