At 300 K, the standard enthalpies of formation of `C_(6)H_(5)COOH (s), CO_(2)(g)` & `H_(2)O (l)` are , `-408, -393` & `-286" kJ mol"^(-1)` respectively. Calculate the heat of combustion of benzoic acid at : (i) constant pressure (ii) constant volume.

Answer» Correct Answer - (i) -3201 kJ/mol (ii) -3199.75 kJ/mol
`C_(6)H_(5)COOH+15/2 O_(2) rarr 7CO_(2)+3H_(2)O(l)`
`DeltaH=(7xx-393)+3(-286)-(408)=-3201`
`DeltaU=DeltaH-Deltan_(g) RT`
`Deltan_(g)=-1/2`
`DeltaU=-3199.75 kJ mol^(-1)`
