Methyl benzoate is prepared by the reaction between benzoic acid and methanol, according to the equation C6H5COOH + CH3OH → C6H5COOCH3 +H2O . In an experiment 24.4 g of benzoic acid were reacted with 70 ml of CH3OH. The density of CH3OH is 0.79g/ml. The methyl benzoate produced had a mass of 21.6g. What was the percentage yield of product?
