Number of aromatic compounds = 3
CHEM ACADEMY
Therefore, hence A and D are not aromatic.
exist in non-planar tub shape
Since compound is not planar. Thus, it is non-aromatic.

42. C6H14 hexane
CHEM ACADEMY
Correct answer is (5).
43. C6H5CN C6H5COOH
M = 103 gm M = 122 gm
Since, idealy 103 gm of C6H5CN forms 122 gm of CH3COOH
122 15.45
Therefore, 15.4 gm of C6H5CN will form = = 18.3 gm of CH3COOH
103
But actual CH3COOH formed = 10.98 gm
actual wt. formed 10.98
So, percentage yield = theoretical wt. formed  100  18.3  100  60
