The standard enthalpy of formation of the metallocene bis(benzene)chromium was measured in a calorimeter. It was found for the reaction Cr(C6H6)2(s) ? Cr(s) + 2 C6H6(g) that.
Find the corresponding reaction enthalpy and estimate the standard enthalpy of formation of the compound at 583 K. The constant-pressure molar heat capacity of benzene is 136.1 J K-1 mol-1 in its liquid range and 81.67 J K-1 mol-1 as a gas.
