Chapter 5.6, Problem 11P

The same alkane is obtained from the catalytic hydrogenation of both alkene A and alkene B. The heat of hydrogenation of alkene A is 29.8 kcal/mol, and the heat of hydrogenation of alkene B is 31.4 kcal/mol. Which alkene is more stable?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
a. What alkane, with molecular formula C5H12, forms only one monochlorinated product when it is heated with Cl2? b. What alkane, with molecular formula C7H16, forms seven monochlorinated products (disregarding stereoisomers) when heated with Cl2?
The heats of hydrogenation of cycloheptene and 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene are 110 kJ/mol (26.3 kcal/mol) and 305 kJ/mol (73.0 kcal/mol), respectively. In both cases cycloheptane is the product. What is the resonance energy of 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene? How does it compare with the resonance energy of benzene?
a. What hydrocarbon with molecular formula C4H10 forms only two monochlorinated products? Both products are achiral. b. What hydrocarbon with the same molecular formula as in part a forms three monochlorinated products? One is achiral and two are chiral.
