The heat produced by the combustion of `2.0g` of benzene in a bomb calorimeter was found to be `123.6 kJ` at `25^(@)C`. Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of benzene at `25^(@)C`.

Explanation

To calculate the enthalpy of combustion of benzene at 25°C, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of benzene.
The combustion of benzene (C₆H₆) in the presence of oxygen (O₂) produces carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). The balanced equation is:

\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_6 (l) + \frac{15}{2} \text{O}_2 (g) \rightarrow 6 \text{CO}_2 (g) + 3 \text{H}_2\text{O} (l) \]
