The following is the dehydration reaction that we would have performed in experiment 19. We would have converted cyclohexanol to cyclohexene. H3PO4 ILO Assume that we performed the above reaction starting with 5.7 grams of cyclohexanol. Calculate the theoretical yield of cyclohexene. Remember that the theoretical yield is the amount that you should get if the reaction goes 100% to completion. Show your work. If 10.5 grams of cyclohexene are actually produced, what is the overall percent yield of our reaction? Show your work.

The synthesis of cyclohexene (C6H10) was performed by the dehydration of 2.0 mL cyclohexanol (C6H12O) in the presence of 0.4 mL phosphoric acid 85% solution. After the separation and the drying of the product, 1.3783 g cyclohexene were obtained. Calculate the percent yield of cyclohexene. Show calculations. Report the result with correct number of significant figures.

Suppose you are performing the acid-catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol to form cyclohexene. If you react 1.67 mL of cyclohexanol, which has a density of 0.9624 g/mL, with 1.80 mL of 85% phosphoric acid, which has a density of 1.6845 g/mL, what is the theoretical yield (in g) of cyclohexene? 2. If the previous reaction of 1.62 mL of cyclohexanol with 1.40 mL of 85% phosphoric acid produces an isolated yield of 0.974 g of cyclohexene, what is the percent yield of cyclohexene?

Calculate the percent yield of the cyclohexene from cyclohexanol, assuming you have started with 20.0 mL of cyclohexanol and collected 5. 0 mL of cyclohexene. Show all calculations. (HINT: calculate the theoretical yield first)
