In a flask, 10 mL of Isopentyl benzoate (MW = 192.26 g/mol and ρ = 0.99 g/mL) was reacted with 4.12 g of Sodium hydroxide. However, only 3.14 g of Benzoic acid (MW = 122.12 g/mol) was produced. Assuming a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio, calculate the percent yield and round to the nearest tenth. % yield =
