In the following reaction

The yield for reaction I is and that of reaction II is . The overall yield of the complete reaction is __________ . [nearest integer]
Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Let initial moles of reactant taken = n
Total moles obtained for benzene sulphonic acid (with % yield = 60%) = 0.6n

Moles of benzene sulphonic acid before reaction II = 0.6n
Moles obtained for phenol (with % yield = 50%) = 0.6 × 0.5n = 0.3n
So over all % yield of complete reaction
