Question

Calculate standard enthalpy of formation for benzene from the following data.
C6H6()+152O2(g)6CO2(g)+3H2O()ΔHo=3267KJ
ΔfHo(CO2)=393.5 KJmol1
ΔfHo(C2O)=285.8 KJmol1

Solution

C6H6()+152O2(g)6CO2(g)+3H2O()ΔHo
Here, Ho=fHo(products)fHo(reactants)
3267=6×fHo(CO2(g))+3×fHo(H2O(l))152×fHo(O2(g))fHo(C6H6(l))
3267=6×(393.5)+3×(285.8)fHo(C6H6(l))
fHo(C6H6(l)=48.6KJ/mol
