Question

In the bromination of benzoic acid to give -bromobenzoic acid,  of benzoic acid gives  of product. The percentage yield of the product is  (Round off to Nearest Integer). [C=12.0, H=1.0, O=16.0, Br=80.0]

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 Calculate the yield of the bromination reaction () between benzoic acid and its brominated product. Find the moles of reactant and product to determine the percentage.

Step 1: Calculate Moles
- Moles Benzoic acid .
- Molar mass of product () .

Step 2: Calculate Yield
Theoretical mass .

Nearest integer is 78.
