The Dehydrogenation of Cyclohexane,C₆H₁₂(l),to Form Benzene,C₆H₆(l),is Not Spontaneous $\rightarrow$ C₆H₆(l)+ CH₃CH₃(g)

question 90

Short Answer

The dehydrogenation of cyclohexane,C₆H₁₂(l),to form benzene,C₆H₆(l),is not spontaneous.However, the hydrogenation of ethene to form ethane is spontaneous.Calculate the reaction free energy for the coupled reaction
C₆H₁₂(l)+ 3CH₂=CH₂(g) $\rightarrow$ C₆H₆(l)+ CH₃CH₃(g)
