Solution
The correct option is B -121 kJ/mole The required reaction is C6H10+H2Cyclohexene⟶C6H12Cyclohexene, △H1=? ...(1) Let us write the given facts H2+12O2⟶H2O △H2=−241kJ/mol ...(2) C6H10+172O2⟶6CO2+5H2O, △H3=−300kJ/mole ...(3) C6H12+9O2⟶6CO2+6H2O, △H4=−3920kl/mole ...(4) The-required-reaction (1) can be obtained by adding equations (2) and (3), and subtracting (4) from the sum of (2) and (3). C6H10+H2⟶C6H12 △H1=(△H2+△H3)−△H4 =[−241+(−3800)]−(−3920) =(−241−3800)−(−3920) =−4041+3920=−121kJ/mole
