Answer:
82.15g of Cyclohexene
Step-by-step explanation:
The reaction of dehydration of cyclohexanol (CycOH) to cyclohexene (CycENE) is:
CycOH + H₃PO₄ → CycENE + H₂O
That means, 1 mole of cyclohexanol produce 1 mole of cyclohexene.
Now, theoretical yield is defined as the maximum amount of product that could be obtained.
Thus, 100.16g of cyclohexanol could give as theoretical yield of cyclohexene:
100.16g CycOH × (1 mol / 100.16g) = 1 mole of CycOH = 1 mole of CycENE (Assuming a theretical yield).
1 mole CycENE × (82.15g / mol) =
82.15g of Cyclohexene
