A 10.0 g sample of cyclohexanol (M = 100.16 g mol⁻¹) is oxidised to cyclohexanone (M = 100.16 g mol⁻¹) with an isolated yield of 85 %. The cyclohexanone is then reacted with phenylhydrazine (M = 108.14 g mol⁻¹) in a 1:1 molar ratio to give the corresponding phenylhydrazone, isolated in 90 % yield based on cyclohexanone. Finally, the phenylhydrazone undergoes Wolff-Kishner reduction to cyclohexane (M = 84.16 g mol⁻¹) with an 80 % yield based on phenylhydrazone. Calculate the mass of cyclohexane obtained at the end of the three‑step sequence.

Answer Options

A. 5.71 g of cyclohexane
Correct Answer B. 5.14 g of cyclohexane
C. 6.43 g of cyclohexane
D. 6.05 g of cyclohexane
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
5.14 g of cyclohexane
