If 1.2g of anthracene (MW= 178.23 g/mol) reacts with 0.66g of maleic anhydride (MW=98.057), what is the theoretical yield of the product 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-α,β-succinic acid anhydride (MW= 276.29 g/mol)? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given mass of anthracene, C14H10 = 1.2 g 

Molar mass of anthracene= 178.23 g.mol- 

Given mass of maleic anhydride , C2H2(CO)2O = 0.66 g 

Molar mass of maleic anhydride= 98.057 g.mol-

Molar mass of product = 276.29 g.mol
