Solution
The correct option is B3.74kJ Combustion of benzene is represented by C6H6(l)+152O2(g)→6CO2(g)+3H2O(l)
change in no. of moles of gaseous products and reactants Δn=nproducts−nreactants △n=6−152=−32From△H=△U+△nRT△H−△U=△nRT△H−△U=−32×8.314×300=−3741.3×10−3=−3.74kJ
The difference is asked in question so we can simply take the magnitude hence 3.74kJ is the answer.
