Answer:
1.64g
Explanation:
The reaction scheme is given as;
2-bromocyclohexanol --> 1,2-epoxycyclohexane + HBr
From the reaction above,
1 mol of 2-bromocyclohexanol produces 1 mol of 1,2-epoxycyclohexane
3.0 grams of trans-2-bromocyclohexanol.
Molar mass = 179.05 g/mol
Number of moles = mass / molar mass = 3 / 179.05 = 0.016755 mol
This means 0.016755 mol of 1,2-epoxycyclohexane would be produced.
Molar mass = 98.143 g/mol
Theoretical yield = Number of moles * Molar mass
Theoretical yield = 0.016755 * 98.143 ≈ 1.64g
