Question

Why is it important to dry the crude cyclohexene prior to the final distillation?

Answer 1

during the synthesis of cyclohexene, the cyclohexanol and acid is heated. And cyclohexene and water is produced.

Before the final product is obtained, initially we obtain crude cyclohexene. Crude cyclohexene is actually cyclohexene with water and other impurities.it is actually very important to dry this crude cyclohexene before the final distillation process.

" Because if any amount of water is present that it will interfere the distillation, also ,the water present in the crude will Co distill and this will not separate before the final distillation.

this is why all the water present in the crude must be remove by drying before the final distillation process
