Question
Your company manufactures nylon from adipic acid (H2C6H8O4). Adipic acid is produced from the reaction between liquid cyclohexane (C6H12) and oxygen gas. Another product of this combination is water as shown in the chemical equation below:
2 C6H12 + 5 O2 = 2 H2C6H8O4 + 2 H2O
If your target percent yield is at least 85% of the 25.0 g theoretical yield, how much of the starting materials (cyclohexane and oxygen gas) should you have? Express both reactants in (a) moles and (b) grams.
