The standard enthalpies of formation of cyclohexylamine and cyclohexylamine hydrochloride

The standard enthalpy of combustion of cyclohexylamine has been measured in an aneroid rotating-bomb calorimeter. The value ΔH_o^o(c-C₆H₁₁NH₂, 1) = ?(4071.3 ± 1.3) kJ mol^?1 yields the standard enthalpy of formation ΔH_f^o(c-C₆H₁₁NH₂, 1) = ?(147.7 ± 1.3) kJ mol^?1. The corresponding gas-phase standard enthalpy of formation for cyclohexylamine is ΔH_f^o(c-C₆H₁₁NH₂, g) = ?(104.9 ± 1.3) kJ mol^?1. The standard enthalpy of formation of cyclohexylamine hydrochloride, ΔH_f^o(c-C₆H₁₁NH₂·HCl, c) = ?(408.2 ± 1.5) kJ mol^?1, was derived by combining the measured enthalpy of solution of the salt in water, literature data, and the ΔH_c^o measured in this study. Comment is made on the thermochemical bond enthalpy H(CN).
