Question

Aniline, C6H5NH2, is used to make many different chemicals, including dyes, photographic chemicals, antioxidants, explosives, and herbicides. It can be formed from nitrobenzene, C6H5NO2, in the following reaction with iron(II) chloride as a catalyst.

4 C6H5NO2 + 9 Fe + 4 H2O → 4 C6H5NH2 + 3 Fe3O4

 

(a) Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of iron and moles of nitrobenzene. (Use the lowest possible whole number factors.)
 mol iron
 
 mol nitrobenzene

(b) What is the minimum mass of iron that would be necessary to react completely with 875.2 g of nitrobenzene, C6H5NO2?
  g

(c) Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of aniline and moles of nitrobenzene.
 mol aniline
 
 mol nitrobenzene

(d) What is the maximum mass of aniline, C6H5NH2, that can be formed from 875.2 g of nitrobenzene, C6H5NO2, with excess iron and water?
  g

(e) Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of Fe3O4 and moles of aniline.
 mol Fe3O4
 
 mol aniline

(f) What is the mass of Fe3O4 formed with the amount of aniline, C6H5NH2, calculated in part (d)?
  g
