Solution

Step 1: The mass of reactants and product used in the reaction is given in the equation as follows:

Step 2: First let us determine the limiting reagent in the reaction.

We know that 140.5gof Ph-CO-Cl reacting with 169g of Ph-NH-Ph [140g and 169gare the respective molecular weights of the compounds]

By unitary method 1g Ph-CO-Cl =169140.5gPh-NH-Ph

So, 140gof Ph-CO-Cl=169140.5×140gPh-NH-Ph

=0.168g

Now, the observed mass of Ph-NH-Ph i.e 0.168g is less than the theoretical mass i.e0.388g.

So, the amount of Ph-CO-Cl is limited in reaction. Hence the reaction will proceed according to the mass of Ph-CO-Cl.

Now, 140.5g of Ph-CO-Cl reacting to form =273gof Ph-CO-NH-(Ph)2

So, 1g Ph-CO-Cl reacting to form =273140.5g of Ph-CO-NH-(Ph)2

0.140g of Ph-CO-Cl reacting to form =273140.5×0.140g of Ph-CO-NH-(Ph)2

=0.272g

The observed mass of product Ph-CO-NH-(Ph)2 obtained =0.272g

The theoretical mass of product Ph-CO-NH-(Ph)2 obtained =0.210g

Step 3: The percentage yield of Ph-CO-NH-(Ph)2 =Theoreticalmassobservedmass×100

=0.2100.272×100=77%
