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), 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.

### Given Data:
1. Heat of combustion of benzene (ΔH_combustion) = -3268 kJ
2. Heat of formation of CO₂ (ΔH_f CO₂) = -393.5 kJ
3. Heat of formation of H₂O (ΔH_f H₂O) = -285.8 kJ

### Step 1: Write the combustion reaction of benzene
