The chemical reaction for synthesizing 4-methylcyclohexene involves the dehydration of 4-methylcyclohexanol in the presence of phosphoric acid. This is an example of an elimination reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Chemical reaction:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The dehydration reaction for 4-methylcyclohexene is as follows: 4-methylcyclohexanol\u2192H3PO44-methylcyclohexene+H2O\\text{4-methylcyclohexanol} \\xrightarrow{\\text{H}_3\\text{PO}_4} \\text{4-methylcyclohexene} + \\text{H}_2\\text{O}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Molar Mass of 4-methylcyclohexene:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To calculate the molar mass of 4-methylcyclohexene, we sum up the atomic masses of its components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carbon (C): 12.01 g\/mol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hydrogen (H): 1.008 g\/mol<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The molecular formula for 4-methylcyclohexene is C7H12C_7H_{12}. So the molar mass of 4-methylcyclohexene is: 7(12.01\u2009g\/mol)+12(1.008\u2009g\/mol)=84.07\u2009g\/mol+12.096\u2009g\/mol=96.166\u2009g\/mol7(12.01 \\, \\text{g\/mol}) + 12(1.008 \\, \\text{g\/mol}) = 84.07 \\, \\text{g\/mol} + 12.096 \\, \\text{g\/mol} = 96.166 \\, \\text{g\/mol}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Mass Calculation for Reagents:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The density of 4-methylcyclohexanol is 1.69 g\/mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The density of phosphoric acid is 0.916 g\/mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The volumes are:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4-methylcyclohexanol = 2.7 mL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phosphoric acid = 2.3 mL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now calculate the mass of each reagent using the formula Mass=Density\u00d7Volume\\text{Mass} = \\text{Density} \\times \\text{Volume}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For 4-methylcyclohexanol<\/strong>: Mass&nbsp;of&nbsp;4-methylcyclohexanol=1.69\u2009g\/mL\u00d72.7\u2009mL=4.563\u2009g\\text{Mass of 4-methylcyclohexanol} = 1.69 \\, \\text{g\/mL} \\times 2.7 \\, \\text{mL} = 4.563 \\, \\text{g}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For phosphoric acid<\/strong>: Mass&nbsp;of&nbsp;phosphoric&nbsp;acid=0.916\u2009g\/mL\u00d72.3\u2009mL=2.107\u2009g\\text{Mass of phosphoric acid} = 0.916 \\, \\text{g\/mL} \\times 2.3 \\, \\text{mL} = 2.107 \\, \\text{g}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Moles of Reagents:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the number of moles, use the formula Moles=MassMolar&nbsp;Mass\\text{Moles} = \\frac{\\text{Mass}}{\\text{Molar Mass}}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Molar Mass of 4-methylcyclohexanol<\/strong>: The molar mass of 4-methylcyclohexanol is 114.18 g\/mol (C7H14O).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Moles of 4-methylcyclohexanol<\/strong>: Moles&nbsp;of&nbsp;4-methylcyclohexanol=4.563\u2009g114.18\u2009g\/mol=0.0399\u2009mol\\text{Moles of 4-methylcyclohexanol} = \\frac{4.563 \\, \\text{g}}{114.18 \\, \\text{g\/mol}} = 0.0399 \\, \\text{mol}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Molar Mass of Phosphoric Acid (H\u2083PO\u2084)<\/strong>: The molar mass of phosphoric acid is 98.00 g\/mol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Moles of phosphoric acid<\/strong>: Moles&nbsp;of&nbsp;phosphoric&nbsp;acid=2.107\u2009g98.00\u2009g\/mol=0.0215\u2009mol\\text{Moles of phosphoric acid} = \\frac{2.107 \\, \\text{g}}{98.00 \\, \\text{g\/mol}} = 0.0215 \\, \\text{mol}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Limiting Reagent:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine the limiting reagent, we need to look at the stoichiometry of the reaction. The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of 4-methylcyclohexanol reacts with 1 mole of phosphoric acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>0.0399 mol of 4-methylcyclohexanol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0.0215 mol of phosphoric acid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since phosphoric acid is present in a smaller amount, it is the limiting reagent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Theoretical Yield of 4-Methylcyclohexene:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the limiting reagent is phosphoric acid, it will determine the maximum number of moles of 4-methylcyclohexene that can be formed. According to the stoichiometry, 1 mole of phosphoric acid produces 1 mole of 4-methylcyclohexene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the theoretical yield in moles of 4-methylcyclohexene is 0.0215 mol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the theoretical yield in grams: Mass&nbsp;of&nbsp;4-methylcyclohexene=0.0215\u2009mol\u00d796.166\u2009g\/mol=2.0676\u2009g\\text{Mass of 4-methylcyclohexene} = 0.0215 \\, \\text{mol} \\times 96.166 \\, \\text{g\/mol} = 2.0676 \\, \\text{g}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Actual Yield:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The student reports a 62.5% yield, meaning that the actual yield is 62.5% of the theoretical yield: Actual&nbsp;Yield=62.5%\u00d72.0676\u2009g=1.292\u2009g\\text{Actual Yield} = 62.5\\% \\times 2.0676 \\, \\text{g} = 1.292 \\, \\text{g}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Moles of 4-methylcyclohexanol<\/strong>: 0.0399 mol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Moles of phosphoric acid<\/strong>: 0.0215 mol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limiting reagent<\/strong>: Phosphoric acid (since it is present in a smaller amount)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Theoretical yield<\/strong>: 2.0676 g of 4-methylcyclohexene<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Actual yield<\/strong>: 1.292 g of 4-methylcyclohexene (based on a 62.5% yield)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I.
