  3. C +150.4 kJ/mole
  4. D -269.9 kJ/mole
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) -208.1 kJ/mole

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

[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…
