Question:

The enthalpy of hydrogenation of cyclohexene is $-119.5 kJ mol ^{-1} .$ If resonance energy of benzene is $-150.4 kJ mol ^{-1}$, its enthalpy of hydrogenation would be:-

Updated On: Jun 19, 2024
  • $-508.9\,KJ\,mol^{-1}$
  • $-2.8.1\,Kj\,mol^{-1}$
  • $-269.9\,KJ\,mol^{-1}$
  • $-358.5\,Kj\,mol^{-1}$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$\because$ Heat of hydrogenation of cyclohaxene $=-119.5 kJ / mol$ $\therefore$ Heat of hydrogenation of benzene $=3 \times-119.5=-358.5 KJ / mol$ Resonance energy $=$ Observed $\Delta H -$ Calculated $\Delta H$ $-150.4=-358.5- x$ $x =-208.1\, KJ$

Aromatic hydrocarbon

Aromatic hydrocarbons, sometimes known as arenes, are aromatic organic molecules made up entirely of carbon and hydrogen. In aromatic compounds a benzene ring which is named after the simple aromatic chemical benzene, or a phenyl group when part of a larger structure, is the configuration of six carbon atoms.

Reactions of Aromatic Hydrocarbons:

1. Aromatic Substitution Reactions

This reaction involves the replacement of one substituent on the ring of an aromatic hydrocarbon, commonly a hydrogen atom, by a different substituent group.

The common types of aromatic substitution reactions are:

  • Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions
  • Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions
  • Radical nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions

2. Coupling Reactions

In these types of reactions, the coupling of two fragments that have a radical nature is achieved with the help of a metal catalyst
