Calculating the theoretical yield

If 4.99 g of C 8 H 8 O 3  is produced experimentally and the reaction proceeds to 42.3% yield, what is the theoretical yield, in grams? C 7 ...

If 4.99 g of C₈H₈O₃ is produced experimentally and the reaction proceeds to 42.3% yield, what is the theoretical yield, in grams?

C7H6O3 + CH3OH ➞ C8H8O3 + H2O

Strategy

Solve the equation below for the theoretical yield.
