Question
### Benzene Combustion

**Chemical Equation:**

Benzene (\(C_6H_6\)) undergoes combustion according to the following reaction:

\[ 
2 \, C_6H_6(l) + 15 \, O_2(g) \rightarrow 12 \, CO_2(g) + 6 \, H_2O(l) 
\]

**Thermodynamic Information:**

- The standard enthalpy change (\(\Delta H^\circ\)) for this reaction is \(-6535 \, \text{kJ}\).

This equation indicates that 2 moles of liquid benzene react with 15 moles of gaseous oxygen to produce 12 moles of gaseous carbon dioxide and 6 moles of liquid water, releasing 6535 kJ of energy in the process.

**Problem Statement:**

All of the heat from the combustion of 39.10 mL of \( C_6H_6 \) is transferred to 5.175 L of water at 26.9°C. What will the final temperature of the water be, in °C?

**Given Data:**

- The density of \( C_6H_6(l) \) is 0.8765 g/mL.
- Assume the density of water is 1.00 g/mL.
- The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/(g°C).

**Question:**

Calculate the final temperature of the water, in °C.

**Answer Box:**

- °C

--- 

This problem requires the application of principles of thermodynamics, specifically the concept of heat transfer.
