Cyclohexene and toluene + sulfuric acid

[apchemstudent]

For cyclohexene and sulfuric acid reaction, is a precipitate suppose to form? the results looked yellow-orange ish, but it became murky. I'm suppose to note the solubility change, but i don't know what to say for it. Please help thanks.

For Toluene though, i heated it as well, and there was only a colour change, but it remained clear. What can I say about the solubility change for this? That it's still soluble? Again please help. Thanks

you'll need to be more specific and give out more details of the experiment, for instance, does this experiment involve a reaction between cyclohexene and toulene? In that case, cyclohexene could be protonated to become an electrophile which can react with toulene through an electrophilic aromatic substitution.

In the reaction between cyclohexene and sulfuric acid, a precipitate may form depending on the conditions of the reaction. The yellow-orange color and murky appearance suggest that a reaction has taken place and a product has formed. As for the solubility change, you can note that the product is less soluble in the reaction mixture compared to the starting materials.

As for the reaction between toluene and sulfuric acid, the color change indicates a reaction has occurred but the clear appearance suggests that no precipitate has formed. This could mean that the product is more soluble in the reaction mixture compared to the starting materials. However, more information about the conditions of the reaction and the specific products formed would be needed to accurately determine the solubility change.
