C6H6 + 15/2 O------> 6 CO2 + 3H2O
Heat liberated on complete combustion of 7.8 g or benzene = 327 kJ
∴Heat liberated on complete combustion of 78 g (1mol) of benzene = 327 kJ  
Δn = 6-7 ½ = -1.5  
  R = 8.3 × 10 kJ mole K  
  T = 300 K
ΔH = ΔE + ΔngRT;   
    = -327kJ + (-1.5) (8.314 × 10 ) (300) kJ mole-1                 
-327 -3.7413 = 330.7413 KJ 
So the answer is 330.7413

Let the no. of moles of C6H6 be n.
So, n= Given mass/Molar mass  = 7.8/78 = 0.1
at constant volume the heat liberated is Cv = 327kJ
We have to find Cp!!
 
We know, Cp = Cv + nR
=> Cp = (327 * 103) + 0.1 * 8.314  = 3.27 * 105kJ
CHEERS!!
