Question

$Cyclohexene H_{2} - \to N i Cyclohexane; Δ H = - 28.6 kcal/mol$

$Anthracene H_{2} - \to N i Tetradecahydroanthracene; Δ H = - 116.2 kcal/mol$

The resonance energy of anthracene is $x kcal/mol$ . Magnitude of $x$ is:

Open in App

Solution

Enthalpy of hydrogenation of cyclohexene $= - 28.6 kcal/mol$
$∴$ Calculated enthalpy of anthracene $= - 28.6 \times 7 = - 200.2 kcal/mol$
(As there are 7 double bonds in anthracene)
Hence, $Resonance energy = Calculated enthalpy- Actual enthalpy$
$= - 200.2 - (- 116.2) kcal/mol$
$= - 84 kcal/mol$
Therefore, magnitude of $x$ is 84.
