The molar heats of fusion and vaporisation of benzene are $10.9$ and $31.0 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. The changes in entropy for the solid $\rightarrow$ liquid and liquid $\rightarrow$ vapour transitions for benzene are $x$ and $y \ JK^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$,respectively. The value of $(y-x)$ (in $JK^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$) is (At $1 \ atm$,benzene melts at $5.5^{\circ} C$ and boils at $80^{\circ} C$).
