Identify the given reaction: 2 C6H6(l) + 15 O2(g) → 12 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l) with ΔHrxn° = -6534 kJ. This is the enthalpy change for the combustion of 2 moles of benzene.
To find the enthalpy change for the combustion of one mole of benzene, recognize that the given ΔHrxn° corresponds to 2 moles of C6H6.
Use the relationship: ΔH for 1 mole = (ΔH for 2 moles) / 2. This is because the reaction as written involves 2 moles of benzene.
Substitute the given ΔHrxn° value into the equation: ΔH for 1 mole = (-6534 kJ) / 2.
Calculate the result to find the standard enthalpy change for the combustion of one mole of benzene.
