In the reaction where cyclohexanol is put into a round bottomflask with phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid and heated in a fractional distillation system, why is it then cooled in an ice bath?
In order to remove the excess and unreacted cyclohexanol and phosporic acic, it is important to distill the mixture at higher temperature (The B. Pt of cyclohexanol is 161oC and Phosphoric acid B. Pt. is >200oC). Under such a hot conditions, the cyclohexene, which gets formed under the specified reaction conditions, (B. Pt is 83oC) along with water (B. Pt is 100oC) also get bioled. Therefore, in order to prevent such a vaporization of the product, it is important to reduce the temperature which is done by cooling to get better yield of the product

ОН Н,РО,. H2SO + Н,о Procedure Cyclohexanol (10 g) is weighed into a 50 mL round-bottom three-necked flask, while avoiding getting the liquid on the ground-glass joint. To this is added 2.5 mL of 85% phosphoric acid along with two drops of sulfuric acid (again, avoiding getting the liquids on the joint) and a few boiling stones....
2. a. Both concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated phosphoric acid are known to catalyze the conversion of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene via dehydration reaction. Concentrated hydrochloric acid, however, is not a viable option. Provide two reasons on what make sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid advantageous over hydrochloric acid. Look up additional information on these acids if needed. b. In preparation of the bromohydrin (trans-2-bromo-1-methylcyclohexanol) with bromine, side products dibromides shown below are often observed. This side reaction can be essentially avoided...

Draw a proposed mechanism for the reaction of cyclohexanol with aqueous sulfuric acid to yield cyclohexene. Label each step as either: nucleophilic attack, loss of a leaving group, or proton transfer. What type of elimination reaction is this: E1 or E2? Explain. Explain how the leveling effect has occurred in this reaction? What is the likely base in the last step: water or HSO4-? Explain.
1. For the acetylation of ferrocene, ferrocene is mixed with acetic anhydride and 85% phosphoric acid and heated for 20 mins. Why is phosphoric acid used rather than a stronger acid such as sulfuric acid? 2. For the oxidation of ferrocene, NH4[PF6] is added to the reaction mixture of ferrocene, acetone, distilled water, and anhydrous FeCl3. What is the purpose of adding NH4[PF6]?
5.0 ml of 2-methylcyclohexanol was placed in a 50 ml round bottom flask. Phosphoric acid (85%, 5 ml) was added cautiously, and the mixture swirled. Boiling stones were added to prevent bumping during heating. The mixture was heated to reflux temperature and refluxed for 15 minutes. The products were collected between 85-90 ˚C, in a small round bottom flask, cooled in ice water. Isolation Procedure The distillate was washed with 2 x 5 ml saturated sodium chloride solution in a...
One of the major uses of sulfuric acid is the production of phosphoric acid and calcium sulfate. The reaction is: Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) → 3CaSO4(s) + 2H3PO4(aq) What mass of concentrated sulfuric acid (98.0 % H2SO4 by mass) must be used to react completely with 155.9 g of Ca3(PO4)2?
