Answer:
C6H6 + H2SO4 ---> C6H5SO3H + H2O
k [H2SO4]^2 [C6H6]
Explanation:
In writing the rate equation for a reaction, all the steps in the reaction sequence are summed and transient intermediates are taken into consideration.
Writing rate equation began at the slowest step as shown in the image attached to this answer below. This is because the slowest step determines the rate of reaction. Concentration of intermediates are usually expressed in terms of concentration of reactants as intermediates do not enter the rate equation.

Molarity is defined as the ratio of number of moles to the volume of solution in litres.
The mathematical expression is given as:
Here, molarity is equal to 1.43 M and volume is equal to 785 mL.
Convert mL into L
As, 1 mL = 0.001 L
Thus, volume = = 0.785 L
Rearrange the formula of molarity in terms of number of moles:
n =
= 1.12255 mole
Now, Number of moles =
Molar mass of potassium hydroxide = 56.10 g/mol
1.12255 mole =
mass in g =
= 62.97 g
Hence, mass of = 62.97 g
