To find the heat of hydrogenation of cyclohexene, we need to use the given enthalpy of combustion values for hydrogen (H₂), cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂), and cyclohexene (C₆H₁₀). The heat of hydrogenation is the enthalpy change when one mole of cyclohexene is converted to cyclohexane by the addition of hydrogen.

We can use the following steps:

Write the balanced equations for the combustion of each substance.
Use these equations to find the enthalpy change for the hydrogenation reaction.
