Answer:
48.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
The reaction has a 1:1 mole ratio so;
Number of moles of benzoic acid reacted = mass/molar mass = 3.8 g/122.12 g/mol = 0.03 moles
So;
0.03 moles of methyl benzoate is formed in the reaction
Mass of methyl benzoate formed = 0.03 moles * 136.15 g/mol = 4.1 g
percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100/1
percent yield = 2.0 g/4.1 g * 100 = 48.8%
