    Percent yield = 61.58%

    Explanation:

    C4H9OH + NaBr + H2SO4 - -> C4H9Br + NaHSO4 + H2O

    From the reaction;

    1 mol of C4H9OH reacts with 1 mol of NaBr and 1 mol of H2SO4 to form 1 mol of C4H9Br

    We have to obtain the limiting reagent. We do this by calculatig the mols of each reactant in the reaction;

    Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

    C4H9OH; 15 / 74g/mol = 0.2027

    NaBr; 22.4 / 102.89 = 0.2177

    H2SO4; 32.7 / 98 = 0.3336

    In this case, the limiting reagent is C4H9OH, it determines the amount of product formed.

    From the stoichometry of the reaction; one mole of C4H9OH forms one mole of C4H9Br. This means 0.2027 mol of C4H9Br was formed.

    Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

    Mass of C4H9Br formed = 0.2027 * 137

    Mass = 27.77g

    Percent yield = (Practical yield / theoretical yeield) * 100%

    Percent Yield = 17.1 / 27.77 * 100

    Percent yield = 61.58%
