Calculate the enthalpy change for the isomerisation

Enthalpy level diagram

(A) to (B), using the following data: bond enthalpies (kJ/mol) 610, 348, 413; resonance (conjugation) energy of A = 0, of B = 28 kJ/mol.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Count the bonds: A and B each have 2 , 2 and 8 bonds, so the bond-enthalpy change is zero.

B gains 28 kJ/mol of conjugation stabilisation over A.

.

Answer: (A).
