230 kJ mol-1 Hence, resonance (delocalization) energy of 1,3 –
pentadiene is

A. 22 kJ

B. 104 kJ

C. 252 kJ

D. 11 kJ

www.wisedane.com
 ANSWER (A)
EXPLANATION

CH 2  CHCH 2 CH 2CH 3  H 2  CH 3CH 2CH 2CH 2CH 3 ;

H = 126 kJ mol1
CH 2  CHCH=CHCH 3  2H 2  CH 3CH 2CH 2CH 2CH 3 ;
H = 230 kJ mol1
Theoretical value of hydrogenation of two [C = C] bonds = 252 kJ mol1
Thus, resonance energy = 252 - 230 = 22 kJ
