Question 11

Cyclohexene reacts with steam in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce cyclohexanol.

C6H10+H2O→C6H11OH \text{C}_6\text{H}_{10} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{11}\text{OH} C6​H10​+H2​O→C6​H11​OH

Calculate the maximum mass of cyclohexanol, C6H11OH\text{C}_6\text{H}_{11}\text{OH}C6​H11​OH, that can be produced when 4.1 kg of cyclohexene, C6H10\text{C}_6\text{H}_{10}C6​H10​, reacts with excess steam.

(relative atomic masses: H=1\text{H} = 1H=1, C=12\text{C} = 12C=12, O=16\text{O} = 16O=16; relative molecular mass of cyclohexene, C6H10=82\text{C}_6\text{H}_{10} = 82C6​H10​=82)
