Chapter 4.2, Problem 4.6TIY
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The heat of reaction of compound ‘A’ where the reaction is with hydrogen to give cyclohexane is to be determined. The strain energy is given as 50.7 kcal mol-1.

Concept introduction: The heat of reaction is calculated using the equation of enthalpy for a reaction and can be written as:

  ΔH°=(strengths of bonds broken)- (strengths of bond made)       =DH°reactantDH°product
