The heat of hydrogenation of 1-hexene is 126 kJ mol. When a second double bond is introduced in the molecule, the heat of hydrogenation of the resulting compound is found to be 230 kJ mol–1. The resulting compound (diene) is

1 : 4 hexadiene

1 : 3 hexadiene

1 : 5 hexadiane

Solution

It is a conjugated diene because its HOH is less than 2 × 126 = 252 kJ/mol. If it is non-conjugated diene than its HOH will be 2 × 126 = 252 kJ/mol.
