Question
In the reaction C₆H₆ + Br₂ → C₆H₅Br + HBr, 30.0 g benzene reacts with 65.0 g bromine to produce 56.7 g bromobenzene. What is the percentage yield?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Benzene is the limiting reagent and theoretical yield is about 60 g. Actual yield 56.7 g gives approximately 94.5% yield.
Hint
Percent yield = (actual ÷ theoretical) × 100.
