The hydrocarbons cyclohexane (C6H12), ΔHf° = -156 kJ/mol, and 1-hexene (C6H12), ΔHf° = -74 kJ/mol, have the same empirical formula. (a) Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the transformation of cyclohexane to 1-hexene. (b) Which has greater enthalpy, cyclohexane or 1-hexene?

Step 1: Understand the problem by identifying the given data: Cyclohexane (C6H12) has a standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) of -156 kJ/mol, and 1-hexene (C6H12) has a ΔHf° of -74 kJ/mol.
Step 2: To find the standard enthalpy change (ΔH°) for the transformation of cyclohexane to 1-hexene, use the formula: ΔH° = ΔHf°(products) - ΔHf°(reactants).
Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula: ΔH° = (-74 kJ/mol) - (-156 kJ/mol).
Step 4: Simplify the expression by subtracting the enthalpy of formation of cyclohexane from that of 1-hexene.
Step 5: To determine which compound has greater enthalpy, compare the ΔHf° values: the compound with the less negative (or more positive) ΔHf° has greater enthalpy.

Standard Enthalpy of Formation (ΔHf°)

The standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) is the change in enthalpy when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states. It provides a reference point for calculating the enthalpy changes in chemical reactions. In this question, the ΔHf° values for cyclohexane and 1-hexene are essential for determining the enthalpy change during the transformation between these two hydrocarbons.

Enthalpy Change (ΔH)

Enthalpy change (ΔH) is the heat content change associated with a chemical reaction at constant pressure. It can be calculated using the formula ΔH = ΣΔHf°(products) - ΣΔHf°(reactants). In this case, the enthalpy change for the transformation from cyclohexane to 1-hexene can be determined by subtracting the ΔHf° of cyclohexane from that of 1-hexene.

Comparison of Enthalpy Values

Comparing the enthalpy values of different compounds helps determine their stability and energy content. A compound with a lower ΔHf° is generally more stable and has lower energy than one with a higher ΔHf°. In this question, analyzing the ΔHf° values of cyclohexane and 1-hexene allows us to conclude which compound has greater enthalpy and thus is less stable.

The Sun supplies about 1.0 kilowatt of energy for each square meter of surface area (1.0 kW/m2, where a watt=1 J/s). Plants produce the equivalent of about 0.20 g of sucrose (C12H22O11) per hour per square meter. Assuming that the sucrose is produced as follows, calculate the percentage of sunlight used to produce sucrose. 12 CO2(g) + 11 H2O(l) → C12H22O11 + 12 O2(g) H = 5645 kJ
