Benzamide can be preapred by the action of concentrated ammonia upon benzoyl chloride. `underset(\"Benzoyl chloride\")(C_(6)H_(5)COl)+2NH_(3) to underset(\"Benzamide\")(C_(6)H_(5)_CONH_(2))+NH_(4)Cl` In such experiment 65cc of concentrated ammonia (in excess) was treated with 15g of benzoyl chloride to give 11.1g of pure benzamide. Molar masses: benzoyl chloride (141), (benzamide)(121). The percentage yield of benzamide is:
