The combustion of benzene (l) gives CO2(g) and H2O(l). Given that the heat of combustion of benzene at constant volume is —3263.9 kJmol−1 at 25∘C. The heat of combustion (inkJmol−1) of benzene at constant pressure will be: (R=8.314JK−1mol−1)

Solution
The correct option is A -3267.6 C6H6(l)+152O2(g)→6CO2(g)+3H2O(l)
Here, Δng=6−152=−32
We know, ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT ΔH=(−3263900−32×8.314×298)J =−3267616J=−3267.6kJ
