Question

2. Calculate the limiting reagent, theoretical yield, and percent yield of the following reaction. (6 pts) NaOH/ H20 2 CH3 Hас 3.0 g 1.3 g 5.2 g MW: 234 g/mol MW: 58.08 g/mol MW: 106.12 g/mol
please show how to find each one

Answer 1

first find the moles and then identify the limiting reactant and then calculate the values as follows
