The C6H6 is at 77F and 1 atm, and thus its absolute entropy is sC6 H6 = 64.34 Btu/lbmolR (Table A-26E).
The entropy values listed in the ideal gas tables are for 1 atm pressure. Both the air and the product gases
are at a total pressure of 1 atm, but the entropies are to be calculated at the partial pressure of the
components which is equal to Pi = yi Ptotal, where yi is the mole fraction of component i. Also,
