A Diels Alder reaction occurs with 4.25 g of cyclopentadiene, an equimolar amount of dienophile, and 50 mL of ether was used as the solvent. The product is bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester. Given that information, what is the moles of each reactant, and what is the theoretical yeild of he product. (include the balanced equation)
