Answer #1

C10H8(s) +12 O2(g) -------------> 10CO2 + 4H2O(l)

\DeltaH0rxn = \Delta H0f products - \Delta H0f reactants

\DeltaH0rxn =10 \Delta H0fCO2 + 4 \Delta H0f H2O-[\DeltaH0f C10H8 + 12\DeltaH0f O2]

-5156.8    = 10*-393.5 + 4*-285.9 -[\DeltaH0f C10H8 + 12*0]

-5156.8   = -5078.6-\DeltaH0f C10H8

-\DeltaH0f C10H8   = -5156.8+5078.6

-\DeltaH0f C10H8    =- 78.2

\DeltaH0f C10H8    = 78.2

The standard enthalpy of formation of C10H8 is 78.2 KJ/mole
