Strategy:
 Calculate the theoretical yield from the balanced reaction of aniline with bromine water, which produces 2,4,6-tribromoaniline ( ratio). Percent yield is the actual obtained mass divided by this theoretical value.

Step 1: Calculate theoretical moles

Theoretical moles of .

Step 2: Calculate theoretical mass
Molar mass of .

Step 3: Calculate percentage yield
