The heat of hydrogenation of cyclohexene is:

Correct answer: B. -208 kJ/mol

  • A. -239 kJ/mol
  • B. -208 kJ/mol
  • C. -19.5 kJ/mol
  • D. Kcal/mol

Explanation

Hydrogenation of cyclohexene involves breaking a pi bond and forming two new sigma bonds. This releases energy, making the reaction exothermic.The typical range for the heat of hydrogenation of alkenes like cyclohexene falls between -110 kJ/mol to -130 kJ/mol.-120 kJ/mol falls within this expected range
