In a bomb calorimeter compartment surrounded by 1.187 kg of water, the combustion of 1.283 g of benzene, C₆H₆ (l), raised the temperature of the water from 23.640ᵒC to 32.692ᵒC. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 0.979 kj/ᵒC.
What is ∆ for the reaction in kj/mol of C₆H₆ (l), the specific heat of water is 4.184 j/gᵒC?
