synthesis of benzene
« on: February 16, 2009, 12:05:02 PM »
Is the use of three moles of acetylene to form a mole of benzene feasible ?

If not, are there more feasible methods?

what bonds are you making?  what bonds are you breaking?  what are the associated energies for those bonds?  is the reaction energetically uphill or downhill?

those are questions you should start asking yourself first.

Dear Doom91;

With an adequate catalyst that’s possible.  Search the Internet for.
Or you can do it thermal above 4000°C:   

(feasible: yes, - but economic??)

Good Luck!
