Chapter 4, Problem 4.17P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The heats of formation of $\left(E\right)\text{-3-hexene}$ and $\left(Z\right)\text{-3-hexene}$ is to be calculated from its enthalpy of hydrogenation.

Concept introduction:

The heat of formation is defined as the change in the heat, when one mole of substance is formed from its elements. The standard heat of formation is given by $\Delta H_{\text{f}}°$.
