Fumaric bromination

2.5 mL 10% bromine was added to 0.200g of fumaric acid. Calculate the limiting reagent and % yield of the reaction.

NB: use density to find the mass of bromine.

The image illustrates a chemical reaction involving a bromination process. On the left, the reactant is shown as a molecule with two carboxylic acid groups (HOOC) and two hydrogen atoms (H) attached to an alkene. The reaction is indicated by an arrow pointing to the right, with "Br₂" above it, signifying the addition of bromine. On the right, the product of the reaction is displayed. The original double bond in the reactant is replaced by two bromine atoms (Br), each bonded to a carbon atom, showing a dibromination. The carboxylic acid groups (COOH) remain unchanged. The image shows the stereochemistry of the product: the additions are anti, indicating the two bromine atoms are added on opposite sides of the former double bond plane. The (R, S) notation suggests the presence of chiral centers in the molecule. This reaction is an example of an electrophilic addition to an alkene, focusing on how bromine adds across a carbon-carbon double bond.
