The enthalpy of hydrogenation of cyclohexene is is 119.5 kJ mol1. If resonance energy of benzene is 150.4 kJ mol1, its enthalpy of hydrogenation would be
- A358.5 kJ mol1
- B508.9 kJ mol1
- C208.1 kJ mol1
- D269.9 kJ mol1
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C

The resonance energy provides extra stability to the benzene molecule so it has to over come
for hydrogenation to take place.
So H = – 358.5
– (–150.4) = –208.1 kJ
