To calculate the number of moles of cyclohexanol used, we need to use the given volume of cyclohexanol and the density of the solution.
1. Start by converting the volume of cyclohexanol to grams using its density. The density of cyclohexanol is typically around 0.945 g/mL.
Mass of cyclohexanol = volume of cyclohexanol x density of cyclohexanol
Mass of cyclohexanol = 10.5 mL x 0.945 g/mL
2. Calculate the number of moles of cyclohexanol using its molar mass. The molar mass of cyclohexanol (C6H11OH) is approximately 100.16 g/mol.
Number of moles of cyclohexanol = mass of cyclohexanol / molar mass of cyclohexanol
Number of moles of cyclohexanol = (10.5 mL x 0.945 g/mL) / 100.16 g/mol
3. Calculate the exact number of moles of cyclohexanol by using the final answer from step 2.
Number of moles of cyclohexanol = (10.5 mL x 0.945 g/mL) / 100.16 g/mol
Note: Make sure to grab an up-to-date value of the density of cyclohexanol and be aware that it can vary slightly depending on the source.
