Calculate the heat of reaction for the combustion of one mole of benzene molecules (ch) at 25 (given the ahe: (co()] = -393.5 kj/mol, (h.0(0)] = -285.8 kj/mol, (ch(b)] = 82.6 kl/mol)

ΔHf = 3301 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy of formation of a compound is the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements, with all substances in their standard states.

In a reaction ΔHf = ∑ n ΔHproducts - ∑ n ΔHreagents

Where n are moles

For the reaction:

1 C₆H₆ + 7.5 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

The ΔHf = -285,8 kJ/mol × 3 - 393,5 kJ/mol×6 - [82,6 kJ/mol×1 -0kJ/mol×7,5]

ΔHf = 3301 kJ/mol

I hope it helps!
