The enthalpy : 49.1 kJ/mol
Further explanation
The change in enthalpy in the formation of 1 mole of the elements is called enthalpy of formation
The enthalpy of formation measured in standard conditions (25 ° C, 1 atm) is called the standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf °)
Based on the principle of Hess's Law, the change in enthalpy of a reaction will be the same even though it is through several stages or ways
Reaction
1. 2C₆H₆ (l) + 15 O₂ (g) → 12 CO₂ (g) + 6 H₂O (g)∆H° = -6271 kJ/mol
Reverse
12 CO₂ (g) + 6 H₂O (g) ⇒ 2C₆H₆ (l) + 15 O₂ (g) ∆H° = 6271 kJ/mol : 2
6CO₂ (g) + 3H₂O (g) ⇒ C₆H₆ (l) + 15/2 O₂ (g) ∆H° = 3135.5 kJ/mol
2. 2 H₂ (g) + O₂ (g) → 2 H₂O (g) ∆H° = -483.6 kJ/mol x 3/2
3H₂ (g) + 3/2O₂ (g) → 3H₂O (g) ∆H° = -725.4 kJ/mol
3. C (s) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) ∆H° = -393.5 kJ/mol x 6
6C (s) + 6O₂ (g) → 6CO₂ (g) ∆H° = -2361 k/j/mol
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 C (s) + 3 H₂ (g) → C₆H₆ (l) ∆H° = 49.1 kJ/mol
We add up and the same compound that is on different sides we eliminate
