Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry 2 Question 25

25. The standard enthalpy of combustion at 25C of hydrogen, cyclohexene $\left(\mathrm{C}{6} \mathrm{H}{10}\right)andcyclohexane\left(\mathrm{C}{6} \mathrm{H}{12}\right)are241,3800and-3920 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$ respectively. Calculate the heat of hydrogenation of cyclohexene.
