The aspirin substitute, acetaminophen (C8H9O2N), is produced by the following three-step synthesis listed below. The first two reactions have percent yields of 87% and 98% by mole respectively. The overall reaction yields 3 moles of acetaminophen product for every four moles of C6H5O3N reacted. What is the percent yield by moles for the overall process? What is the percent yield by mole of step III? C6H5O3N(s) + 3 H2(g) HCl(aq) ®2H2O(l) +C6H8ONCl(s)  C6H8ONCl(s) +NaOH(aq) ® C6H7ON(s) + H2O(l) +NaCl(aq)  C6H7ON(s) +C4H6O3(l) ® C8H9O2N(s) +HC2H3O2(l

The aspirin substitute, acetaminophen (C8H9O2N), is produced by the following three-step
synthesis listed below. The first two reactions have percent yields of 87% and 98% by mole
respectively. The overall reaction yields 3 moles of acetaminophen product for every four
moles of C6H5O3N reacted. What is the percent yield by moles for the overall process?
What is the percent yield by mole of step III?

C6H5O3N(s) + 3 H2(g) HCl(aq) ®2H2O(l) +C6H8ONCl(s)
 C6H8ONCl(s) +NaOH(aq) ® C6H7ON(s) + H2O(l) +NaCl(aq)
 C6H7ON(s) +C4H6O3(l) ® C8H9O2N(s) +HC2H3O2(l
