Q36 / 180 · KCET 2014 · Chemistry
The correct statement is
- AOne mole each of benzene and hydrogen when reacted gives \( 1 / 3 \) mole of cyclohexane
and \( 2 / 3 \) mole unreacted hydrogen. - BIt is easier to hydrogenate benzene when compared to cyclohexene.
- Correct answerCCyclohexadiene and cyclohexene cannot be isolated with ease during controlled
hydrogenation of benzene. - DHydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane is an endothermic process.
Solution
During the hydrogenation of benzene only cyclohexane can be isolated.

Benzene
Cyclohexane
Therefore, cyclohexadiene and cyclohexene cannot be isolated with ease during controlled hydrogenation of benzene.

Benzene
Cyclohexane
Therefore, cyclohexadiene and cyclohexene cannot be isolated with ease during controlled hydrogenation of benzene.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
