Here is a DAT-style Organic Chemistry question from Dr. Romano.

Adipic acid is prepared by the partial oxidation of cyclohexane. A sample of 25.0 g cyclohexane reacts with excess oxygen to produce 33.5 g adipic acid.

Can you determine the percent yield?

Before looking at the answer slide, try solving the problem yourself and see if you arrive at the correct answer.

Many students can balance the reaction correctly but make mistakes when converting from theoretical yield to percent yield.

What answer did you get?
