I'm having trouble with stability of compounds, why a benzene ring that releases -206.kJ/mol Is more stable than cyclohexane which releases -118 kJ/mol. isn't having more energy means less stable?
Homework Answers
Ans : Yes this is absolutely correct that having more energy means that the compound is less stable. Greater the amount of potential energy a compound possess , less stable will it be and vice versa.
However the values that you have mentioned for both of the compounds is the enthalpy of hydrogenation and not potential energy values.
So basically this is the energy released when these compounds undergo hydrogenation. In general benzene is more stable than cyclohexane due to the presence of delocalised pi electrons above and below the plane of the molecule in former compound.

The anti conformation of 1, 2-dichloroethane, Cl-CH_2-CH_2- Cl, is 4.81 kJ mol^-1 (1.15 kcal mol^-1) more stable than the gauche conformation. The two energy barriers (measured relative to the energy of the gauche conformation) for carbon-carbon bond rotation are 21.5 kJ mol^-1 (5.15 kcal mol^-1) and 38.9 kJ mol^-1(9.3 kcal mol^-1). Sketch a graph of potential energy versus dihedral angle about the carbon-carbon bond. Show the energy differences on your graph and label each minimum and maximum with the appropriate...

i need help with this a little bit. The standard molar heat of formation of water is –285.8 kJ/mol.b) Why is the magnitude of this value so much larger than the heat of vaporization of water (ΔH°vap = 41 kJ/mol)?Choose one:A.

For the preparation and standardization of NaOH with KHP im supposed to boil water for 1hr and 30 min to remove CO2....the problem is that if I don't boil it for that long and (30 min) b/c of not enough time but I put the water I boiled for 1/2 hr aproximately into a NaOH bottle with a CO2 absorber and stored it there for a few days. I would assume that I would have to boil the water again...but...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
