The weight percentage of hydrogen in Q, formed in the following reaction sequence, is ____.
[Given : Atomic mass of H=1,C=12,N=14,O=16,S=32,Cl=35 ]
Answer: 1.31
Solution
Chlorobenzene → (NaOH,623K,300atm) sodium phenoxide → (conc. H₂SO₄ then conc. HNO₃) picric acid, Q=C₆H₃N₃O₇. Mass % H = 3/229 = 1.31%. Source key 1.31 (note's 1.81 working was in error).
