can you give us the theoretical yield for the reaction bromi

can you give us the theoretical yield for the reaction

bromination of trans cinnamic acid.

I weighted 1.47 g of cinnamic acid and 10 mL of bromine and 6 mL of aetic acid

Solution

Solution

We know that theoretical yield is given by

Theoretical yield = Molar mass of 2,3-dibromo-3-phenyl propionic acid/ Molar mass of cinnamic acid × Mass of cinnamic acid

Theoretical yield = 307.969 / 148.158 × 1.47 g

Theoretical yield = 3.056 g

The theoretical yield is 3.056 g.
