Because there are less moles of Br2, than there are C6H6, Bromine is the limiting reactant and will be
used to calculate the yield.
60.0 g Br2 (1 mol Br2 / 159.8 g Br2)(1 mol C6H5Br / 1mol Br2)(157 g C6H5Br / 1 mol C6H5Br) = 58.95 g
C6H5Br
* For the 1 mol C6H5Br / 1 mol Br2 part, I just got those numbers from the balanced equation. I looked
at the coefficients (numbers before each compound). For every one mol of Br2, one mole of C6H5Br is
produced.
