AP Chemistry Equation, Mass Calculation, and Theoretical Yield Question?

Heating cyclohexanol, C6H11OH, produces cyclohexene, C6H10, and water vapor. Write down

the correct balanced chemical equation for this rxn. If this rxn gives a yield of 86.2% and the

cyclohexanol is only 92.3% pure (the rest of the percentage by mass consists of impurities that can not

react and give the intended product), calculate the mass of cyclohexanol that you must start with to

obtain 45.0 g of cyclohexene by this rxn.
