Calculate the heat of formation of Benzene. The reaction is given below - `6C(s)+3H_(2)rarr C_(6)H_(6)(l)` and - 3268, - 393.5 nd -285.8 kJ are the heat of combustion of Benzene, heat of formation of `CO_(2)` and heat of formation of `H_(2)O(l)` respectively.

Explanation

To calculate the heat of formation of benzene (C₆H₆) from the given reaction:

\[ 6C(s) + 3H_2(g) \rightarrow C_6H_6(l) \]

we can use Hess's law, which states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps of the reaction.

### Step 1: Write the combustion reaction of benzene
The combustion of benzene can be represented as:
