Answer:
Distillation will generate the most cyclohexene.
Explanation:
Let us assume following attached reaction for the synthesis of cyclohexene from cyclohexanol which attains equilibrium after certain time.
As shown in figure the cyclohexanol upon treatment with phosphoric acid undergoes dehydration reaction (removal of water) and produces cyclohexene. On the other hand cyclohexene reacts with water (hydration reaction) and produces cyclohexanol.
Now, if this reaction is allowed in a single flask it will attain equilibrium and will not generate the cyclohexene in high quantity. On the other hand if we apply <em>Le Chatelier's principle</em> ( <u><em>removal of product moves the equilibrium in right direction</em></u>) and distillate cyclohexene (boiling the cyclohexene to convert it into vapors and then collect it after condensation) will move the reaction in forward direction and will allow us to generate cyclohexene in high amounts.
