Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 70%

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molar mass of benzene =78 g/mol Mole of benzene = Given massMolar mass=7.878=0.1 mol C6H6 + CH3COCl/AlCl3→C8H8O By applying the mole-mole analysis, one mole of benzene gives the one mole of C8H8O. So, 0.1 mol of benzene gives the…
