Please send the answer of 8 th question.

Dear Student

This can be solved by Hess's law:

Combustion of benzene
C6H6 + 15/2O2 --------> 6CO2 + 3H2O        ΔH = -3767.7 KJ/mol                       Eqn 1
Formation of CO2
C + O2 --------> CO2                            ΔH = -393.5 KJ/mol                       Eqn 2
Formation of water
H2 + 1/2O2 --------> H2O                     ΔH = -286.6 KJ/mol                         Eqn 3

Now formation of benzene can be represented as:
6C + 3H2 -------> C6H6

On multiplying eqn 3 with 3 we get
3*(H2 + 1/2O2 --------> H2O                     ΔH = -286.6 KJ/mol )
3H2 + 3/2O2 --------> 3H2O                              ΔH = -859.8 KJ                         Eqn 4
Multiplying eqn 2 with 6, we get
6*( C + O2 --------> CO2                            ΔH = -393.5 KJ/mol 
6C + 6O2 --------> 6CO2                            ΔH = -2361.0 KJ/mol                         Eqn 5

On adding eqn 4 and eqn 5, and then subtracting eqn 1 from the sum, we get

Subtracting Eqn 1 from eqn 5, we get equation for formation of methane, 
6C + 3H2 -------> C6H6
ΔH =[-859.8 +(-2361)] - (-3767.7)  = +546.2 KJ/mol
