<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>
We are told that KOH is being used to completely neutral H₂SO₄ according to the following reaction:
KOH + H₂SO₄ → H₂O + KHSO₄
If KOH can completely neutralize H₂SO₄, then there must be an equal amount of moles of each as they are in a 1:1 ratio:
0.025 L x 0.150 mol/L = .00375 mol KOH
0.00375 mol KOH x 1 mole H₂SO₄/1 mole KOH = 0.00375 mol H₂SO₄
We are told we have 15 mL of H₂SO₄ initially, so now we can find the original concentration:
0.00375 mol / 0.015 L = 0.25 mol/L
The concentration of H₂SO₄ being neutralized is 0.25 M.
