Question

Calculate the enthalpy of formation of benzene from the following data.

2C6H6(g) + 15O2(g) ---> 12CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)    ΔHc° = -6631.54 kJ mol-1

ΔfH°(CO2, g) = -393.18 kJ mol-1
ΔfH°(H2O, l) = -284.47 kJ mol-1

(Note, ΔfH° is the symbol for enthalpy of formation.)
Provide answer as KJ mol-1
