Pre-laboratory assignment: Due Friday, March 27, 2020 1. Draw the reaction scheme for this reaction. 2. Complete the following table of reagents for the dehydration of 2-methylcyclohexanol: | Molecular weight (g/mol) Density (g/mL) Mass Moles Volume (ml) Reagent 2-methylcyclohexanol CHO Dehydration products (CH) Role in the reaction Limiting reagent Product 3. List the safety precautions that must be observed when using concentrated sulfuric and phosphoric acids. 4. What are the boiling points of 2-methylcyclohexanol and methylcyclohexene? 5. Why is the boiling point of the 2-methylcyclohexanol higher than the boiling point of the alkene product(s)? 6. What is the purpose of distillation? Give one example from real life where distillation is used. 7. What is the inorganic byproduct of dehydration? Why is it important to stop the distillation when the temperature reaches 100 °C? 8. Calcium chloride (CaCl) is a drying agent used to remove water from organic solutions. Explain the consequences of not drying the product with calcium chloride before proceeding to the IR data acquisition step.
