Solution

The correct option is A 4
This shows that the generation of one (C=C) bond in Cychlohexene requires 119kJmol1 of enthalpy. TO calculate RE resonance energy.
ΔH1=ΔH2=ΔH3=119kJmol1,ΔH4=RE
ΔH5=ΔfH(benzene)ΔfH(cyclohexene)
=46(156)=205kJmol1
FromHesslaw:
ΔH4=ΔH5(ΔH1+ΔH2+ΔH3).
=2053×119=152kJmol1
38x=152
x=4
