Question

Determine the heat of reaction (KJ) for the decomposition of one mole of benzene to acetylene,
C6H6(l) → 3C2H2(g)


given the following thermochemical equations:
2C6H6(l) + 15O2(g) → 12CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)               ΔH = −6271 kJ
2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)                  ΔH = −2511 kJ
