Interpretation: The heat of combustion of decahydronaphthalene and naphthalene is given. The heat of hydrogenation and the resonance energy of naphthalene is to be identified.
Concept introduction: Resonance energy describes the stability of the compound that shows conjugated double and single bond. Due to the delocalization of the electrons the structure of the compound becomes much stable than the actual expected energy. This difference is represented by resonating energy.
To determine: The heat of hydrogenation and the resonance energy of naphthalene.
