Percentage yield

Hey guys.

Im trying to figure out what i should use in my percentage yield calculation. My product is triphenylmethanol (the product of a grignard reaction) and i have masses for bromobenzene and magnesium turnings which i used to make the grignard and methyl benzoate for the actual reaction. Which masses do i need to use?

well which one is most probably the limiting reactant? ie the one that is completely used up, that would be the one value to be used.
