Theoretical yeild ??

Using the follwing information,calculate the theoretical yeild for the dehydration of 3.0 mL of cyclohexanol.

Substance --> molar mass(g/mol) --> d (g/mL)
cyclohexanol --> 100.16 ----> 0.948
cyclohexene----> 82.15----> 0.811

Answer:
The theroretical yield will be 100% so I think what you are asking based on the information given is how many milliters of cyclohexene will you get from this reaction. If it is then here is how to do it:
1. Multiply the volume of cyclohexanol (3 mL) by its density. This will give you the number of moles of cyclohexanol.
2. Since it is a theoretical yield the number of moles of your starting material, cyclohexanol, will equal the number of moles of your product, cyclohexene, so multiply the number of moles you just calculated by the molecular weight of cyclohexene (82.15 g/mol). This will give you the number of grams of cyclohexene produced.
3. Finally divide the number of grams of cyclohexene by its density (0.811 g/mL). This will give you the amount, in milliters, of cyclohexene you can expect to obtain.

Hope this helped you out
