Benzene, C6H6, used in the manufacture of plastics, is a carcinogen affecting the bone marrow. Long-term exposure has been shown to cause leukemia and other blood disorders. The combustion of benzene is given by the following equation: 2C6H6(l) + 15 O2(g) → 12CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)    ΔHo = -6534.8 kJ  Calculate the heat of formation of benzene. The heats of formation of other substances are:  O2 (g) = 0,   CO2(g) = -393.5 kJ,     H2O(l) =  -285.8 kJ Input answer in one decimal place. Include negative sign if the answer is negative

Question

Benzene, C6H6, used in the manufacture of plastics, is a carcinogen affecting the bone marrow. Long-term exposure has
been shown to cause leukemia and other blood disorders. The combustion of benzene is given by the following equation:

2C6H6(l) + 15 O2(g) → 12CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)    ΔHo = -6534.8 kJ 

Calculate the heat of formation of benzene.

The heats of formation of other substances are:  O2 (g) = 0,   CO2(g) = -393.5 kJ,     H2O(l) =  -285.8 kJ

Input answer in one decimal place. Include negative sign if the answer is negative.
