Solution
The correct option is A -121 kJ per mol The equations formed by the given data:
H2+12O2→H2O−241kJmol−1...........(1)C6H10+172O2→6CO2+5H2O−3800kJmol−1............(2)C6H12+9O2→6CO2+6H2O−3920kJmol−1.......(3) Adding eqn (1) and (2) and subtracting (3): C6H12+H2→C6H12 Enthalpy of hydrogention is thus: ΔHHydrogen.=−241+(−3800)−(−3920)=−121kJmol−1
