Calculate the theoretical yield and % yield for the reaction of trans-cinnamic acid with molecular bromine (Br2). (Assume bromine is in excess.) Amount Start, Amount Start, Amount Start, (ml), HBr Amount isolated, (g), Product Melting Point, (°C) (ml), H202 trans-cinnamic acid 0.341 1.8 2.0 0.547 197-200 What was your observed melting point of your compound? Based on this result, draw the mechanism that the reaction proceeds by and indicate the pair of enantiomers you have obtained?
