I started out with 0.60 grams of trans-cinnamic acid and added 3.5 mL
of dichloromethane and 2.0 mL of 10% bromine in dichloromethane
solution. I refluxed the reaction, and, during refluxing, added a couple
more drops of the 10% bromine solution to get the reaction to go to
product.
Please show me how to determine the limiting reagent and the theoretical
yield in this case. Please be sure to include a demonstration of how to
test bromine (this one confuses me since it is a volume percent of a
solution) as a limiting reagent. The dichloromethane does not affect the
calculation of the theoretical yield, right?
If my solid product came out weighing 1.4 grams, the percent yield is
just (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100, right?
