Benzene, C6H6, is reacted with bromine, Br2, to produce bromobenzene, C6H5Br, and hydrogen bromide, HBr, as shown below. When 40.0 g of benzene are reacted with 95.0 g of bromine, 65.0 g of bromobenzene is produced.
C6H6 + Br2 --> C6H5Br + HBr
a) Which compound is the limiting reagent?
b) What is the theoretical yield of bromobenzene?
c) What is the reactant in excess, and how much remains after the reaction is complete?
d) What is the percentage yield? To get all the points, please state the formula, the substitued values and your answer with units.
