Question

SU H UF of age til Question 20 of 22 O Points Adipie acid, CHOO used to produce nylon, is made commercially by a reaction between eyelohexane (CH) and O2 2CH22 (1) + 50 (9) -- 20H10040) + 2H30 (9) (a) Assume that you carry out this reaction with 168.0 g of cyclohexane and that cyclohexane is the limiting reactant with enough Oxygen What is the theoretical yield of adipic acid? (12 pts) Answer (b) if you obtain 335 g of adipic acid, what is the percent yield for the reaction? (8 pts) Answer

Answer 1

a). 2 t () 29299 2.CHız, + 5.0, 2CHO+ + 2H50g 2 (849) of Cyclohexano goes 20146g) of adipic acid 1688 So, theoretical zield of adipicacia is = 292 g. 6). Actual ziela = 33.5g | percent yield= Actuad jield x 100 Theoretical ziela Theoretical ziela = 2929.1 = 33:5x100 1% yield = 11-4726 %
