The reaction in which cyclohexanone is turned into cyclohexanol.It is a 1; 1 reaction- 1 molecule
of cyclohexanone produces 1 molecule of cyclohexanol
100 microLiters ( 95 mg, 0.97 mmol) of cyclohexanone is mixedwith
250 microLiters of methanol
Please calculate the theortical yield- show all work andsteps

Ans. Given-Â Â Â Balanced reaction:Â Â Â Cyclohexanone -----> Cyclohexanol

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Amount of Cyclohexanone = 0.97 mmol

# Following stoichiometry of balanced reaction, 1 mol cyclohexanone forms 1 mol cyclohexanol.

So,
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Theoretical moles of cyclohexanol formed = moles of cyclohexanone taken

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 0.97 mmol = 0.00097 mol

Now,

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Theoretical yield of cyclohexanol = Theoretical moles formed x MW

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 0.00097 mol x 100.158 g mol^-1

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 0.09715326 g = 97.153 mg
