The combustion of benzene (L) gives\(C{O}_{2}\) (g) and \({H}_{2}O\) (L). Given that heat of combustion of benzene at constant volume is -3263.9 kJ/mol at 25°C, heat of combustion (in kJ/mol) of benzene at constant pressure will be: (R = 8.314J\({K}^{-1}mo{l}^{-1}\))

a

4152.6

b

452.46

c

3260

d

-3267.6

✓ Correct answer: d)

-3267.6

Explanation

Using ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT, with ΔU = -3263.9 kJ/mol, Δn = -1.5, R = 8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/mol·K, and T = 298 K,

\(\Delta H=−3263.9−3.717=−3267.6\text{ kJ/mol}\)

Correct answer: (D).
