SOLVED: Adipic acid, C6H10O4, is a raw material for the making of nylon, and it can be prepared in the laboratory by the following (unbalanced) reaction between cyclohexene, C6H10, and sodium dichromate, Na2Cr2O7, in sulfuric acid:C6H10(l) Na2Cr2O7(aq) H2SO4(aq) → C6H10O4(aq) Cr2(SO4)3(aq) Na2SO4(aq) H2OThere are side reactions that reduce the yield of adipic acid. Losses of product during its purification also reduce the overall yield. A typical yield of purified adipic acid is 68.6
