The stoichiometry of the addition is 1:1, meaning that for every one mole of transcinnamic acid, one mole of Br2 is needed to form the addition product. The Br2 presents as a solution in dichloromethane solvent. This often causes problems for students when calculating stiochiometric equivalents. The bromine solution is 10% Br2 by volume. For instance, 100 mL of solution contains 10 mL of liquid Br2. The density of Br2 is 3.12 g/mL. o Calculate the number of mmol of Br2 present in 0.48 mL of bromine solution o Calculate the number of mmol in 100. mg of trans-cinnamic acid (use a MW calculated to 2 decimal places) o Which is the limiting reagent? o What is the theoretical yield of the addition product? (use a MW calculated to 2 decimal places)
