    The enthalpy of combustion at\[25{}^\circ C\]of\[{{H}_{2}},\] cyclohexane\[({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}})\]and cyclohexene\[({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{10}})\] \[({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{10}})\]are - 241, - 3920 and - 3800 kJ/mol respectively. The heat of hydrogenation of cyclohexene is:

    A)  -121 kJ/mol       

    B)  +121 kJ/mol

    C)   -242 kJ/mol      

    D)  +242 kJ/mol

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Key Idea: Use Hess's law to solve the problem. It states that total heat changes during a reaction are independent of path. \[{{H}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}{{H}_{2}}O\] \[\Delta H=-241\,kJ\]     ?. (i) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{10}}+\frac{17}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}6C{{O}_{2}}+5{{H}_{2}}O\]            \[\Delta H=-3800\text{ }kJ\]     ...(ii) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}+9{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}6C{{O}_{2}}+6{{H}_{2}}O\] \[\Delta H=-3920\text{ }kJ\] ...(iii) \[\underset{Cyclohexene}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{10}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}\]                \[\Delta H=?\] Adding Eqs. (i) and (ii) and subtracting Eq (iii) we get, \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{10}}+{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}\] \[H=-241-3800-(-3920)\] \[=-4041+3920~\] \[=-121kJ\]
