Answer : The percent yield of the reaction is, 86.5 %
Solution : Given,
Mass of Cyclohexanol = 3.1 g
Molar mass of Cyclohexanol = 100.16 g/mole
Molar mass of Cyclohexene = 82.14 g/mole
First we have to calculate the moles of Cyclohexanol.
Now we have to calculate the moles of Cyclohexene.
The balanced chemical reaction is,
From the reaction, we conclude that
As, 1 mole of Cyclohexanol react to give 1 mole of Cyclohexene
So, 0.03095 mole of Cyclohexanol react to give 0.03095 mole of Cyclohexene
Now we have to calculate the mass of Cyclohexene.
Theoretical yield of Cyclohexene = 2.542 g
Experimental yield of Cyclohexene = 2.2 g
Now we have to calculate the percent yield of reaction.
Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is, 86.5 %
