2 H2 Chemistry 9729/03 NYJC J2/22 PX [Turn Over Section A Answer all questions in this section. 1 This question is about alkene and diene. Diene is an unsaturated compound containing two double bonds between carbon atoms. (a) Table 1.1 shows the structures of hexa-1,2-diene, hexa-1,3-diene and hexa-1,5-diene. Table 1.1 hexa-1,2-diene hexa-1,3-diene hexa-1,5-diene Table 1.2 shows the enthalpy change of combustion of some organic compounds. Table 1.2 substance Hc / kJ mol−1 Hhydrogenation / kJ mol−1 Liquid hexa-1,2-diene −3867 H1 Liquid hexa-1,3-diene −3816 −225 Liquid hexa-1,5-diene −3843 −252 Liquid hexane −4163 NA Hydrogen gas −286 NA (i) Use data in Table 1.2 to draw an energy level diagram to calculate the enthalpy change of hydrogenation of hexa-1,2-diene, H1.
