Using the following data, calculate the heat of combustion of cyclohexatrieneandalso find the resonance energy of benzene.
`Delta_(C)H^(ɵ)` (Benzene)`=-789kcal mol^(-1)`
Combustion contribution `(C-H)=-54.0kcal`
Combustion contribution `(C-C)=-49.3kcal`
Combustion contribution `(C=C)=-117.7kcal`
Strategy: First write a balanced equation for the combustion of one mole of cyclohexatriene:
Nowusing the structure, calculate the combution contribution for each bond and do the total for the molecule.
