Question 1 of 16

2. In a combustion calorimetry experiment, 0.78g of ethanol (C₂H₅OH) produced 12,540 J of heat energy. Calculate the molar enthalpy change.

-425 kJ/mol (Amount = 23/0.78 = 29.5 mol. Answer = 12540/29.5 = 425 kJ/mol)

-738 kJ/mol (Amount = 0.78/46 = 0.017 mol. Answer = 12540/1000/0.017 = 738 kJ/mol)

-213 kJ/mol (Amount = 46/0.78 = 59.0 mol. Answer = 12540/59.0 = 213 kJ/mol)

-369 kJ/mol (Amount = 0.78/23 = 0.034 mol. Answer = 12540/1000/0.034 = 369 kJ/mol)

3. What is meant by the term endothermic?

A reaction which will only be spontaneous at cold temperatures (below 0⁰C)

A reaction in which heat energy is taken in (surroundings get colder)

A reaction in which heat energy is given out (surroundings get hotter)

A reaction which will only be spontaneous at warm temperatures (above 100⁰C)

4. Are neutralisation reactions exothermic or endothermic?

Depends on the reagents

Depends on the temperature of the surroundings

Endothermic

Exothermic

Question 4 of 16

5. Explain, in terms of making and breaking bonds, why a reaction could be endothermic

The bonds in the reagents are weaker than the bonds in the products

The energy needed to break the bonds is more than the energy released to make the bonds

The energy needed to break the bonds is less than the energy released to make the bonds

Breaking the bonds is more favourable than making them

Question 8 of 16

9. Explain why experimental values of enthalpy change differ from theoretical values

Different equipment produces different results. Heat energy is lost to the surroundings. Not all the reactants are used up

Different equipment produces different results. Heat energy is lost to the surroundings

Different equipment produces different results. Not all the reactants are used up

Heat energy is lost to the surroundings. Not all the reactants are used up.

10. Assuming bond energies in kJ/mol: H-C 412, C-C 348, O-H 463, C-O 360, C=C 612. Calculate the molar enthalpy change for the reaction: ethanol → ethene + water

-45 kJ/mol (Some workings as follows. Breaking bonds 1583 kJ/mol. Making bonds 1487/mol. Making - breaking = 1487-1583 = -96 kJ/mol)

-45 kJ/mol (Some workings as follows. Breaking bonds 3231 kJ/mol. Making bonds 3186kJ/mol. Making - breaking = 3186-3231 = -45 kJ/mol)

+96 kJ/mol (Some workings as follows. Breaking bonds 1583 kJ/mol. Making bonds 1487/mol. Breaking - making = 1583-1487 = +96 kJ/mol)

+45 kJ/mol (Some workings as follows. Breaking bonds 3231 kJ/mol. Making bonds 3186kJ/mol. Breaking - making = 3231-3186 = +45 kJ/mol)

Question 11 of 16

12. In a calorimetry experiment to investigate the heat energy released by the combustion of ethanol, why should the water in the calorimeter be stirred?

To allow the heat to spread evenly through the copper container

To ensure the heat energy is mixed evenly throughout all the water

To prevent the water from evaporating

To ensure the container does not get too hot
