Solution Summary

The expert examines combustion and final temperatures.

Solution Preview

Let's take a look at what we need to accomplish. We're given the equation for the combustion, and the amount of energy released given the reactants in that equation. We're also given the mass of one of the reactants, and assuming that the other, oxygen, is abundant, we'll say that the reactant with mass given is the limiting reagent.

Mass = number of moles x molecular weight
Molecular weight of C6H6 = molecular weight of carbon x ...
