When trans-cinnamic acid reacts with bromine, the product is 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid.

You measure out 0.30 g of trans-cinnamic acid, 10 mL of dichloromethane, and a 0.5M solution of bromine. When the reaction is finished, you have 0.223 grams of 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid.

A. How many moles of trans-cinnamic acid was used?

B. What is the limiting reagent?

C. What is the theoretical yield (in moles)?

D. What is the actual yield (in moles)?

E. What is the total percent yield?
