Benzaldehyde and Benzoic AcidHard

Question

The heat of combustion of benzoic acid at constant volume is - 321.3 kJ at 27oC. The heat of combustion at constant pressure is. (R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1). Reaction is :
   C6H5COOH(l) +15/2 O2(g) → 7CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

Options

A.-321.3 kJ
B.-322.54 kJ
C.+322.54 kJ
D.+321.3 kJ

Solution

ᐃE = qv = - 321.3 kJ/mol
ᐃH = qp = ᐃE + (ᐃng)RT
C6H5COOH(l) + O2(g) → 7CO2 (g) + 3H2O(l)
ᐃng = 7 -
ᐃH = -321.3 + (8.314) (300) × 10-3
= - 322.54 kJ
