    82.15g of Cyclohexene

    Explanation:

    The reaction of dehydration of cyclohexanol (CycOH) to cyclohexene (CycENE) is:

    CycOH + H₃PO₄ → CycENE + H₂O

    That means, 1 mole of cyclohexanol produce 1 mole of cyclohexene.

    Now, theoretical yield is defined as the maximum amount of product that could be obtained.

    Thus, 100.16g of cyclohexanol could give as theoretical yield of cyclohexene:

    100.16g CycOH * (1 mol / 100.16g) = 1 mole of CycOH = 1 mole of CycENE (Assuming a theretical yield).

    1 mole CycENE * (82.15g / mol) =

    82.15g of Cyclohexene
