Use the group increment approach to calculate
ΔHf∘ of naphthalene and compare it to the actual value
(36 kJ/(mol)). Explain any differences between calculated and experimental
values.
A) 38 kJ/mol; due to resonance effects
B) 34 kJ/mol; due to hydrogen bonding
C) 36 kJ/mol; due to increased aromaticity
D) 32 kJ/mol; due to steric hindrance
