Problem

The standard molar enthalpies of formation of cyclohexane ( ll ) and benzene ( ll ) at 25°C are -156 and +49 kJ mol−1\text{kJ mol}^{-1} respectively. The standard enthalpy of hydrogenation of cyclohexane ( ll ) at 25°C is -119 kJ mol−1\text{kJ mol}^{-1} . Use these data to estimate the magnitude of the resonance energy of benzene. (IIT 1996)
