So, I went online to figure out what my percentage yield was but my puny brain cannot comprehend. Perhaps someone can calculate it for me.

I started out with 103 grams of 37% HCl, 62.4 grams of pentanol, and 50 grams of NaNO2.

I ended up with 80.42 grams of product.

Thanks!

Where did you get NaNO2?
Care to sell me some or point me in the right direction?
