Apidic acid (H2C6H8O4) is used to produce nylon. Apidic acid is made commercially by a reaction between cyclohexane (C6H12) and oxygen (O2).   What is the balanced reaction for this transformation? (Hint: Water is formed as a by-product.)    Assume that cyclohexane is the limiting reagent. You start with 25.0 g of cyclohexane. How much apidic acid could be produced? c.    In reality, you only made 33.5 g of apidic acid. What is your % yield for the reaction?
