Question

The combustion of benzene (l) gives CO2(g) and H2O(l). Given that heat of combustion of benzene at constant volume is -3263.9 kJ mol-1 at 25oC ; heat of combustion (in kJ mol-1) of benzene at constant pressure will be - (R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1)

Options

A.

- 452.46

B.

3260

C.

-3267.6

D.

4152.6

Solution

C6H6(l) + 152 O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) 
∆ng = 6 - 7.5 = - 1.5 (change in gaseous mole)
∆U or ∆E = - 3263.9 kJ
∆H = ∆U + ∆ngRT
∆ng = - 1.5
R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1
T = 298 K
So ∆H = - 3263.9 + (-1.5) 8.314 × 10-3 × 298
= - 3267.6 kJ
∆H = Heat at constant pressure
∆U / ∆E = Heat at constant volume
R = gas constant
