Question
The standard molar enthalpies of formation of cyclohexane (l) and benzene(l) at 298 K are −156 and +49 kJ/ mol, respectively. The standard enthalpy of hydrogenation of cyclohexene (l) at 298 K is −119 kJ/mol. Use these data to estimate the magnitude of the resonance energy of benzene.
Options
A.152 kJ/mol
B.250 kJ/mol
C.12 kJ/mol
D.86 kJ/mol
Solution
$\Delta H = ( - 156) - (49 + 0) = - 205\text{ kJ}$
$\therefore$Magnitude of resonance energy = $3 \times 119 - 205 = 152\text{ kJ}$
