Determination of the Resonance Stabilization Energy of Benzene Using Bomb Calorimetry Kaitlynn‚ Jesse ‚ Belinda Truman State University Abstract The resonance stabilization energy of benzene is investigated by the combustion of cyclododecatriene. The heat of combustion for cyclododecatriene was determined using bomb calorimetry and used to solve for the stabilization energy of benzene. The bond stabilization energy of benzene is found to be 167.6 ± 388
