<span>1,3-cylohexadiene i synthesized starting from cyclohexane in following 4 steps.
1) Free Radical Substitution Rxn: Halogenation of cyclohexane in the presence of UV yield chlorocyclohexane.
2) Elimination Rxn: Dehydrohalogenation of chlorocyclohexane yields cyclohexene.
3) Halogenation of Cyclohexene (
Electrophillic Addition Rxn) gives 1,2-dihalocyclohexane.
4) Elemination Rxn: When dibromocyclohexane is treated with KOH and heated it gives 1,3-cyclohexadiene as shown below,</span>
Density gives mass of object per volume...... Here, density is given 8.90 g/cm3 therefore, per cubic centimeter contains 8.90 g Ni. mole of Ni = mass / atomic mass = 8.90 / 58.6934 = 0.1516 mole number of atoms: mole * 6.022 * 10^23 = 0.1516 * 6.022 * 10^23 = 0.9129 * 10^23 = 0.9 * 10^23 (approx.)
1mole contains 22.4Lmol^-1
xmole contains 8.943
cross-multiply
x=1×8.943/22.4
x=0.40mole
there it contains 0.40moles.
