Explanation / Answer

The limiting reagent in the reduction of camphor to isoborneol is camphor.

moles of camphor = 0.072 g/152.23 g/mol = 4.73 x 10^-4 mols

1 mole of camphor gives 1 mole of isoborneol product

So theoretical yield of isoborneol = 4.73 x 10^-4 mol x 154.25 g/mol = 0.073 g

Actual yield = 0.071 [I think the decmal place is misplaced above]

percent yield = (0.071/0.073) x 100 = 97.26%
