Answer:
The standard enthalpy of formation of benzene is 6485.49 kJ/mol.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the combustion of C6H6 is:
C6H6 + 15/2 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 3 H2O
To use the formula:
∆H = Σn∆fH°(products) - Σm∆fH°(reactants)
we need to determine the standard enthalpies of formation for the reactant, benzene (C6H6), and for the products, CO2 and H2O.
The enthalpy change for the combustion reaction is given as -3267 kJ/mol, which is the negative of the enthalpy change for the reaction:
C6H6 + 15/2 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 3 H2O (ΔH = -3267 kJ/mol)
Using the standard enthalpies of formation for CO2 and H2O from the problem, we can calculate the standard enthalpy of formation for benzene as follows:
∆H = Σn∆fH°(products) - Σm∆fH°(reactants)
∆H = (6 mol x (-393.5 kJ/mol)) + (3 mol x (-285.83 kJ/mol)) - ∆fH°(C6H6)
-3267 kJ/mol = (-2361 kJ/mol) + (-857.49 kJ/mol) - ∆fH°(C6H6)
∆fH°(C6H6) = (2361 kJ/mol) + (857.49 kJ/mol) + 3267 kJ/mol
∆fH°(C6H6) = 6485.49 kJ/mol
Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of benzene is 6485.49 kJ/mol.
