Acetylene (C2H2) and benzene (C6H6) have the same empirical formula. In fact, benzene can be made from acetylene as follows:

The enthalpies of combustion for C2H2 and C6H6 are –1299.4 and –3267.4 kJ/mol. respectively. Calculate the standard enthalpies of formation of C2H2 and C6H6 and hence the enthalpy change for the formation of C6H6. from C2H2.
