Question

What is the enthalpy of combustion when 1 mol C6H6(g) completely reacts with oxygen? 2C6H6(g) 15O2(g) mc001-1. Jpg 12CO2(g) 6H2O(g) â€""6339 kJ/mol â€""3169 kJ/mol 1268 kJ/mol 6339 KJ/mol.

Answer 1

The enthalpy of combustion of 1 mole of benzene is 3169 kJ/mol .

The first step in answering this question is to obtain the balanced thermochemical equation of the reaction. The thermochemical equation shows the amount of heat lost or gained.

The thermochemical equation for the combustion of benzene is;

2 C6H6(l) + 15 O2(g) → 12 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g) ΔrH° = -3169 kJ/mol

We can see that 1 mole of benzene releases about 3169 kJ/mol of heat.
