I'm finishing up the discussion section of my organic chemistry lab report. It was a simply lab, the acid catalyzed reaction of cyclohexanol to produce cyclohexene. My question is, my percent yield was somewhere in the 20% range, with no big human error to compensate for it. Anyone have any ideas? Does the equilibrium simply lie that far to the left. Thanks.

 

Crap, I had two windows up. This was supposed to go into the GDD, my bad.

Could a mod move/delete this please?

I'm such a n00b
