Data:
Preparation of Alkene from alcohol by Dehydration
Initial Weight of Test tube | 14.4200g |
Product recovered | 1.4g |
Percentage Yield | 14% |
Oxidation of Cyclohexanol to Apidic acid by HNO3
Weight of Apidic acid obtained | 0.45g |
Cyclohexanol used | 2.0g |
Percentage Yield | 22.5% |
Results:
- Percentage Yield = amount obtained/amount used x 100%
= 0.45g/2.0g x 100% = 22.5%
