When heated with sulfuric or phosphoric acid, cyclohexanol, C₆H₁₁OH, is converted to cyclohexene, C₆H₁₀. Ball-and-stick models of cyclohexanol and cyclohexene are shown here. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is shown below.

If the percent yield is 83%, what mass of cyclohexanol must we use to obtain 25 g of cyclohexene?
