Answer

$30.8\,kJ/mol$

Work Step by Step

Recall that $\Delta S_{vap}=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{T_{b}}$. $\implies \Delta H_{vap}=\Delta S_{vap}\times T_{b}$ Given that $T_{b}=80.1^{\circ}C=(80.1+273.15)K=353.25\,K$ For benzene, $\Delta S_{vap}=87.2\,J\,K^{-1}mol^{-1}$ Then, $\Delta H_{vap}=(87.2\,J\,K^{-1}mol^{-1})(353.25\,K)$ $=30800\,J\,mol^{-1}=30.8\,kJ/mol$
