The potassium salt of benzoic acid, potassium benzoate (KC7H5O2, MM=160 g/mol) can be made by the action of potassium permanganate on toluene (C7H8, MM=92 g/mol). If the yield of potassium benzoate cannot realistically be expected to be more than 71%, what is the minimum number of grams of toluene needed to produce 11.5 g of potassium benzoate?
