MCQ
In the reaction at $300\, K$

${C_6}{H_6}\left( \ell  \right) + \frac{{15}}{2}{O_2} \to 6C{O_2}\left( g \right) + 3{H_2}O\left( \ell  \right)\,\,\,\,\Delta H =  - 3271\,kJ$ 

What is the value of $\Delta U$ for combustion of $1.5\, mol$ benzene at $27\,^oC$ ? .....$kJ$

  • A
    $-3267.25$
  • $-4900.88$
  • C
    $-4906.5$
  • D
    $-3274.75$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-4900.88$
b
for $1$ $mol$ combustion of benzene

$\Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}}=-1.5$

$\Delta \mathrm{H}=\Delta \mathrm{U}+\Delta \mathrm{ngRT}$

$\Rightarrow-3271=\Delta \mathrm{U}-\frac{1.5 \times 8.314 \times 300}{1000}$

$\Rightarrow \Delta \mathrm{U}=-3267.25\, \mathrm{kJ}$

for $1.5 \,\mathrm{mol}$

$\Delta \mathrm{U}=-3267.25 \times 1.5=-4900.88\, \mathrm{kJ}$
