Answer : The number of mmol of bromobenzene is, 20.6 mmol
Explanation :
The balanced chemical reaction will be:
[tex]C_6H_5Br+HNO_3\rightarrow C_6H_4NO_2Br[/tex]
First we have to calculate the moles of p-bromonitrobenzene.
Moles of p-bromonitrobenzene =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of p-bromonitrobenzene}}{\text{ molar mass of p-bromonitrobenzene}}[/tex]
Molar mass of p-bromonitrobenzene = 202 g/mol
Moles of p-bromonitrobenzene = [tex]\frac{4.17g}{23g/mole}=0.0206moles[/tex]
Now we have to calculate the mmol of bromobenzene.
From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,
As, 1 mole of p-bromonitrobenzene produced from 1 mole of bromobenzene
So, 0.0206 mole of p-bromonitrobenzene produced from 0.0206 mole of bromobenzene
Moles of bromobenzene = 0.0206 moles = 20.6 mmol
Conversion used : 1 moles = 1000 mmol
Thus, the number of mmol of bromobenzene is, 20.6 mmol
