What is the experimental and theoretical percent yield of synthesis of methyl orange?

Introduction
Methyl orange is an azo dye whose thesis can be accomplished by a diazo coupling reaction
between the diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid and N,N-dimethylaniline. Since the coupling reaction
is conducted in an acidic solution, the first product to form is the acid form of methyl orange,
called helianthin, which is bright red. The addition of a base leads to the conversion of helianthin
to its sodium salt, which is methyl orange.

It is necessary to carry out the diazotization reaction in an acidic solution. However, sulfanilic acid
is insoluble in acidic solutions. To overcome this problem, the sulfanilic acid is first dissolved in
a basic solution: an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate- Sodium nitrite is then added to this
basic solution. Finally, the solution is chilled and then acidified with hydrochloric acid. The instant
the sulfanilic acid precipitates from the solution, it becomes diazotized, yielding a finely divided
white precipitate of the diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid. This diazonium salt is allowed to react
immediately with dimethylaniline in the solution in which it was precipitated.

Running the reaction:
0.065 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate were dissolved in 5 mL water in a 25 mL
Erlenmeyer flask
0.202 g of sulfanilic acid were added and the mixture was heated which caused the solids
to dissolve
After cooling the mixture to room temperature, 0.092 g of sodium nitrite were added while
stirring
The mixture was placed in an ice bath to cool it to 5 °C before 0.30 mL concentrated
hydrochloric acid was added dropwise
Slowly, a fine, white precipitate was formed
Part 2:
Running the reaction:
The suspension formed in part 1 was placed in an ice-bath
0.17 mL of N,N-dimethylaniline and 0.12 mL of glacial acetic acid were placed in a 3-mL
vial
This solution was added dropwise to the suspension obtained in part 1
The mixture was stirred affording a red precipitate
After 10 minutes, 1.5 mL of 10 % NaOH were added dropwise
The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and then the pH value was tested (pH=8-9)
Product isolation:
The suspension was heated to a gentle boil and 0.60 g of solid NaCl was added
The solution could cool to room temperature and then be placed in an ice-bath
The solid was isolated by filtration on a Buchner funnel
The remaining solids were transferred using 5 mL of cold sodium chloride solution
The solids and the filter paper were placed in 15 mL of boiling water to dissolve the product
The mixture could cool to room temperature before placing in an ice bath (~15 minutes)
The solids are isolated by vacuum filtration
After allowing to dry, weigh the product
Product characterization:
0.185 g of the product
