Answer:

Incomplete exercise: isolated 0.169 g of eugenol from 5.09 g of cloves

The answer is:

The theoretical mass of eugenol is 0.8653 g and the percent recovery is 19.53%

Explanation:

The theoritical mass is equal to:

$TY=0.17*5.09=0.8653g$

The percent recovery is:

$R=\frac{0.169}{0.8653} *100=19.53%$ %
