Question

The enthalpy of hydrogenation of cyclohexene is -119.5 kj/mol. What is the enthalpy of benzene, if its resonance energy is -150.4 kJ/mol?

Answer 1

Enthalpy of hydrogentaion of cyclohexene = -119.5 kJ/mol

∴ calculated enthalpy of hydrogenation of benzene=3(-119.5) = -358.5 kJ/mol, 《since benzene has 3 pi bonds and cyclohexene has 1 pi bond.》

Actual enthalpy of hydrogenation = -358.5 kJ/mol - (-150.4 kJ/mol) = -208.1 kJ/mol
