Enthalpy of hydrogenation of one mole of benzene to cyclohexane is
[Resonance energy of benzene =-150.4 kJ/mole.
Enthalpy of hydrogenation of cyclohexene =-119.5 kJ/mole]
  1. -208.1 kJ/mole
  2. -358.1 kJ/mole
  3. +150.4 kJ/mole
  4. -269.9 kJ/mole

Solution

[Resonance energy of benzene =-150.4 kJ/mole.
Enthalpy of hydrogenation of cyclohexene =-119.5 kJ/mole]

Reaction of cyclohexene to cyclohexane :-

C6H12 + H2 C6H14

So, the energy required to break the one double bond is =-119.5 kJ/mol

The benzene has the three double bonds. So, the energy of formation of the cyclohexane from benzene is :-

3×Enthalpy of hydrogenation of cyclohexene=-3×119.5=-358.5 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of hydrogenation of one mole of benzene to cyclohexane is equal to difference the enthalpy of formation of cyclohexane from benzene to the resonance energy of benzene.

Enthalpy of hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane = -358.5--150.4=-358.5+150.4=-208.1 kJ/mol

Hence, Enthalpy of hydrogenation of one mole of benzene to cyclohexane is -208.1 kJ/mol.
