The theoreticla yeild will depend upon the initial amountof acetanilide taken during the reaction.
The reaction is
Acetanilide + Bromine ---> 4-Bromoacetanilide
Let we have started with x grams of acetanilide and with excess of bromine.
As per the equation 1 mole of acetanilide will react with 1 mole fo bromine to give 1 mole of 4-Bromoacetanilide
The molecular weight of acetanilide= 135 g /mole
molecular weight of bromine = 160 g / mole
so as per the equation
135 grams of acetanilide will react with 160 grams of bromine to give 214 grams of Bromoacetanilide
So x grams of acetanilide will react with 160 x / 135 grams of bromine to give 214x / 135 grams of Bromoacetanilide
So the theoretical yield of Bromoacetanilide will be 214x / 135 grams
