Question

Cyclohexane can be manufactured from hexane as shown in the equation.

C6H14 C6H12 + H2
Calculate the mass of cyclohexane that can be made from 258 g of hexane.
[Mr
of cyclohexane = 84

Answer 1

Mr Hexane = 86 g/mol

mol hexane = 258 : 86 = 3

mol cyclohexane = mol hexane = 3

mass cyclohexane = 3 x 84 = 252 g
