The percent yield of meso-1‚2-dibromo-1‚2-diphenylethane was calculated to be 66.36% and with a melting point of 235.1°C. Therefore‚ it can be concluded that this experiment was successfully conducted as the percent yield obtained is only 33.64% off from the equilibrium point‚ and because the melting point met the literature value. The percent yield for the product was less than 100%‚ indicating that were experimental errors‚ such as an undesirable side reaction‚ or more likely‚ an incomplete reaction
