At 25 ^ C standard enthalpy of combustion of H ₂ , Cyclohexene and cyclohexane are -241, -3800 and -3920 kJ mol ⁻¹ respectively. What is the heat of hydrogenation of cyclohexene?
Options
- A-121 kJ
- B-242 kJ
- C121 kJ
- D363 kJ
Correct answer
A. -121 kJ
Step-by-step solution
The hydrogenation reaction of cyclohexene is given by: C ₆ H ₁₀ + H ₂ C ₆ H ₁₂ The enthalpy of hydrogenation can be calculated using the standard enthalpies of combustion of the reactants and products: H = H_c( Reactants ) - H_c( Products ) H = H_c( C ₆ H ₁₀) + H_c( H ₂) - H_c( C ₆ H ₁₂) Substituting the given values: H = -3800 + (-241) - (-3920) H = -4041 + 3920 = -121 kJ mol ⁻¹ Answer: -121 kJ
