NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
The combustion of one mole of benzene takes place at 298 K and 1 atm. After combustion, CO 2 (g) and H 2 O(l) are produced and 3267.0 kJ of heat is liberated. Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation, ∆ f H ⊖ of benzene. (Standard enthalpies of formation of CO 2 (g) and H 2 O(l) are –393.5 kJ mol –1 and – 285.83 kJmol –1 respectively)
Options
- A–33.25 kJ mol –1
- B–56.43 kJ mol –1
- C–48.51 kJ mol –1
- D–65.78 kJ mol –1
Correct answer
C. –48.51 kJ mol –1
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) –48.51 kJ mol –1
