The heat of combustion of decahydronaphthalene (C10H18) is

Chapter 7, Problem 42E

(choose chapter or problem)

The heat of combustion of decahydronaphthalene $\left({{C}_{10}{H}_{18}}\right)$ is $-6286\ kJ/mol$ . The heat of combustion of naphthalene $\left({{C}_{10}{H}_{8}}\right)$ is $-5157\ kJ/mol$ . [In both cases ${CO}_{2}(g)$ and ${H}_{2}O(l)$ are the products.] Using these data and data in Appendix C, calculate the heat of hydrogenation of naphthalene. Does this value provide any evidence for aromatic character in naphthalene?
