Given reaction:

Theoretically calculation:-

So, from 78 g of benzene on nitration gives 123 g of nitrobenzene.

1 g of Benzene on nitration gives 123/78 g of nitrobenzene.

3.9 g of benzene on nitration gives 3.9 x(123/78) g of nitrobenzene.

3.9 g of benzene on nitration gives 6.15 g of nitrobenzene.

But the actual amount of nitrobenzene formed is 4.92 g.

\% \text { yield }=\frac{\text { formed actually }}{\text { formed theoretically }} \times 100

\% \text { yield }=\frac{4.92}{6.15} \times 100=80 \%

Ans = 80
