Question 25 of 97 DDT was an insecticide used to prevent mosquito borne diseases. Due to the harmful effects on birds and fish, it is now banned in the US. However, other countries still use it to control mosquitos. It can be prepared by the reaction shown below. Determine the amount of DDT that can be produced and the percent yield for this reaction. 2C6HSCI + C2HOCI, C14H9Cls + H20 NEXT > If a company in South America started with 1175 g of chlorobenzene (CHSCI, MW 112.55 g/mol) and 538.5 g of chloral (C2HOCI3, MW 147.39 g/mol), set up the table below that represents 100% yield with the given reaction conditions. 2C6H;CI C2HOCI; C14H9Cls H20 Before (mol) Change (mol) After (mol)

### Contextual Information:

**DDT Synthesis Reaction:**
DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) was an insecticide used to prevent mosquito-borne diseases. Due to its harmful effects on birds and fish, it is now banned in the USA, though some countries still use it for mosquito control.

**Chemical Reaction:**
The equation for the synthesis of DDT is:  
\[ \text{2C}_6\text{H}_5\text{Cl} + \text{C}_2\text{HOCl}_3 \rightarrow \text{C}_{14}\text{H}_9\text{Cl}_5 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]

### Exercise:

**Problem Statement:**
A company in South America wants to determine the amount of DDT that can be produced and the percent yield for a given reaction. They start with 1175 g of chlorobenzene \((\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{Cl}, \text{Molecular Weight} = 112.55 \, \text{g/mol})\) and 538.5 g of chloral \((\text{C}_2\text{HOCl}_3, \text{Molecular Weight} = 147.39 \, \text{g/mol})\).

### Task:

**Molar Calculation Table:**

| Compound      | Before (mol) | Change (mol) | After (mol) |
|---------------|--------------|--------------|-------------|
| \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{Cl}\)  |                        |                        |                      |
| \(\text{C}_2\text{HOCl}_3\)        |                        |                        |                      |
| \(\text{C}_{14}\text{H}_9\text{Cl}_5\) |                       |                        |                      |
| \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\)               |                       |                       |                      |

**Interactive Component:**
A user-friendly numerical input section allows users to fill in the table to reflect 100% yield under the given experimental conditions. Users can adjust the numbers for "Before," "Change," and "After" in the given boxes. The interface provides options to input numbers, reset the table, and advance steps.
