if 3.ooml of cyclohexanol were used in the dehydration reaction, what is the theoretical yield of cyclohexene?
To determine the theoretical yield of cyclohexene in the dehydration reaction of cyclohexanol, you would need to consider the balanced equation for the reaction and the stoichiometry.
The balanced equation for the dehydration of cyclohexanol is:
Cyclohexanol → Cyclohexene + H2O
From the balanced equation, you can determine that the stoichiometric ratio between cyclohexanol and cyclohexene is 1:1. This means that for every 1 mole of cyclohexanol reacted, 1 mole of cyclohexene is formed.
To find the theoretical yield, you need to convert the given amount of cyclohexanol (3.0 mol) to moles of cyclohexene using the stoichiometric ratio.
The theoretical yield of cyclohexene would be 3.0 mol.
