Question

Given data for Preparation of Methyl Benzoate
Mass of benzoic acid used: 5.040 grams
Volume of methanol used: 12.0 mL
Mass of Methyl Benzoate Obtained: 4.810 grams

please help find the %yield and limiting regent given the data for the expirement

Percent yield of methyl benzoate(show working...include compound name or
abbreviation)? Working need not be shown in conclusion.
For reaction A ---> B
5.00 g Ax 1 mol A x 1 mol B x 181 g B = 6.65 g B
136 g A 1 mol A 1 mol B
may be expressed as.
5.00 g Ax (1mol A/136 g A) x (1 mol A/1 mol B) x (181 g B/1 mol B) = 6.65 g B

For reaction A ---> B 5.00 g Ax 1 mol A x 1 mol B x 181 g B = 6.65 g B 136 g A 1 mol A 1 mol B may be expressed as. 5.00 g Ax (1mol A/136 g A) x (1 mol A/1 mol B) x (181 g B/1 mol B) = 6.65 g B
Determine the limiting reagent. Sulfuric acid is a catalyst, and need not to be
considered (show working).
For example...For A+B ----> C
20.00 g Ax 1mol A x 1 = mole ratio A
MW A 1 mol A
can be represented as.. 20.00 g Ax (1 mol A/MW A) x ( 1/1 mol A) = mol ratio A
