Detailed Solution

(Given atomic masses C = 12, K = 1.0 , O = 16.0, Br = 80.04 )

Moles of benzoic acid $= \frac{6.1}{122}$ = moles of m-bromo benzoic acid.

So, weight of m-bromo benzoic acid $= \frac{6.1}{122} \times 201 g = 10.05 g$

$% y i e l d = \frac{a c t u a l w e i g h t}{T h e r e t i c a l w e i g h t} \times 100 = \frac{7.8}{10.05} \times 100 = 77.61 % = 78 %$
