Question

find the percent yield of bromobenzene,this reaction reacts bromine with benzene and requires the use of a strong catalyst, a Lewis acid:

             Br2 (reagent, in excess)

 Benzene           --------------->                  Bromobenzene

                   FeBr3 (catalyst)

*reaction not balanced on purpose 

2.00 mL of benzene (where benzene is the limiting reactant, bromine is in excess) are used as the starting material (density = 0.874 g/mL).   The actual yield of bromobenzene is 1.10 mL (density = 1.50 g/mL).  find the percent yield!
