Solution
The correct option is D None of these Molecular Mass of Benzene (C6H6) = 78gmol−1 Number of moles of benzene in 39g = 0.5 Given that the heat of combustion of benzene is −3264kJ/mol The heat releases when 39g of benzene is combusted is 3264×0.5kJ = 1632kJ. Hence option D is the right answer.
