Solution
The correct option is B+121 The equation of the reaction of hydrogenation of cyclohexane: eq. 1 C6H10+H2→C6H12ΔH1=?
We are given that,
H2+12O2→H2OΔH2=−241kJ/mole
C6H10+172O2→6CO2+5H2OΔH3=−3800kJ/mole
C6H12+9O2→6CO2+6H2OΔH4=−3920kJ/mole
The required eq. 1 can be obtained by adding eq.2 and eq.3 and subtracting eq. 4 from it.
So, for eq.1,
ΔH1=ΔH2+ΔH3−ΔH4 putting all the values, =[−3800−241−(−3920)]kJmol−1 =−121kJmol−1 hence the heat of hydrogenation of cyclohexene is =−121kJmol−1
