10. Calculate the needed amounts to do the reaction (in gram for solid & ml for liquid)
of 0.008 moles of o-phenylenediamine and 0.012 moles of formic acid, then calculate
the theoretical yield.

(M.Wt. of o-phenylenediamine = 108.14 g)
(M.Wt. of formic acid = 46.03 g)
(M.Wt. of benzimidazole = 118.14 g)
