Question

The reaction of 1 mole of benzene take place at 298 K and 1 atm as-
C6H6(l)+152O2(g)6CO2(g)+3H2O(l)
in this reaction CO2(g) and H2O(l) are produced and 3267.0 kJ heat is liberated. calculate the ΔfHo for benzene.
ΔfHo for CO2(g) and H2O(l) are 393.5 kJmol1 and 285.83 kJmol1 respectively.

Solution

The correct option is D 48.51 kJmol1
Given, ΔfHoCO2(g)=393.5 kJmol1,ΔfHoH2O(l)=285.83 kJmol1

Reaction is:
C6H6(l)+152O2(g)6CO2(g)+3H2O(l)
ΔrH=3267.0 kJ

so,
ΔfHo for benzene =6ΔfHo(CO2(g))+3ΔfHo(H2O(l)ΔrH

putting all the values,
=3267.0+[6×(393.5)3×(285.83)]
=3267.0+[2361857.49]
=48.51 kJmol1
Hence, enthalpy of formation of benzene is 48.51 kJmol1
