Solution

The correct option is A -121 kJ per mol
The equations formed by the given data:
H2+12O2H2O241kJmol1...........(1)C6H10+172O26CO2+5H2O3800kJmol1............(2)C6H12+9O26CO2+6H2O3920kJmol1.......(3)
Adding eqn (1) and (2) and subtracting (3):
C6H12+H2C6H12
Enthalpy of hydrogention is thus:
ΔHHydrogen.=241+(3800)(3920)=121kJmol1
