Calculate the theoretical yield for the bromination of both stilbenes and cinnamic acid, assuming the presence of excess pyridinium tribromide. calculate the theoretical yield for the bromination of both stilbenes and cinnamic acid, assuming the presence of excess pyridinium tribromide.

cinnamic acid - 150 mg

cis-stilbene - 100 μL

trans- stilbene - 100 mg

pyridinium tribromide - 200-385 mg

For this data:

moles of cinnamic acid = 0.150 g/148.16 g/mol = 0.001 mols

Theoretical mass of dibromoproduct formed = 0.001 mol x 307.97 g/mol = 0.312 g

cis-stilbene (100 ul = 0.1 ml)

moles of cis-stilbene = 0.1 ml x 1.01 g/mol/180.25 g/mol = 0.00056 mols

Theoretical mass of dibromoproduct formed = 0.00056 mol x 340.05 g/mol = 0.19 g

trans-stilbene

moles of tran-stilbene = 0.1 g/180.25 g/mol = 0.00055 mols

Theoretical mass of dibromoproduct formed = 0.00055 mol x 340.05 g/mol = 0.19 g

hi my dude or dudette

i do not get it   at all
