Answer:
3.65 g of cyclohexene
Explanation:
Cyclohexanol + phosphoric acid ----> cyclohexene
The reaction is 1:1 hence the limiting reactant is phosphoric acid.
Hence,
1 mole of phosphoric acid yields 1 mole of cyclohexene
0.0444 moles of phosphoric acid yields 0.0444 moles of cyclohexene
Theoretical yield = number of moles of cyclohexene × molar mass of cyclohexene
Theoretical yield = 0.0444 moles of cyclohexene × 82.143 g/mol
Theoretical yield = 3.65 g of cyclohexene
