Question 1
Answer: B
Explanation:
The definition of specific heat capacity – the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of the substance by
1 0C.
Question 2
Answer: D
Explanation:
Question 3
Answer: A
Explanation:
The question refers to the reverse reaction. The value of ΔH can be read from the graph
Question 4
Answer: D
Explanation:
Question 5
Answer: C
Explanation:
Answer: B
Explanation:
Question 7
Answer: B
Explanation:
Question 8
Answer: A
Explanation:
Question 9
Answer: B
Explanation:
From Boyle’s Law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional as this graph shows.
Question 10
Answer: D
Explanation:
Incomplete combustion usually forms arrange of products. The amount of carbon formed will increase as
oxygen becomes more scarce.
Question 1 (9 marks)
a. 173 K 383 K
b. 263 kPa 93.3 kPa 2 marks
nRT 1× 8.31 ×373
c. V = = = 31.0 L 2 marks
P 100
d. 12 L. The pressure has gone up by a factor of 4 so the volume will drop by a factor of 4 1 mark
e. n(N2) = 60/28 = 2.14 mol V = 2.14×24.8 = 53.1 L 2 marks
Question 2 (7 marks)
a. i. enthalpy of the products is less enthalpy of the reactants 1 mark
ii. temperature of the surroundings will be hotter 1 mark
iii. the change in enthalpy is considered to be the enthalpy of the products – the enthalpy of the reactants:
this will lead to a negative answer for an exothermic reaction
b. A large ΔH for the energy and a large activation energy making it safe to handle 2 marks
c. The values obtained by experimentation will be low due to heat losses during combustion. The water
would need to have a lid, be insulated and stirred. 2 marks
Question 4 (8 marks)
a. i. energy = 80.8× 47.9 = 3870 kJ 1 mark
80.8
ii. n(octane) = = 0.709 mol n(CO2) = 0.709 × 8 = 5.67 mol
114
mass = 5.67 × 44 = 249 g 3 marks
nRT 5.67 ×8.31 ×627
iii. V = = = 328 L 2 marks
P 90
Question 5 (6 marks)
a. 40 L of ethane is reacted with 84 L of oxygen gas. (Conditions are held constant)
i. 48 L (O2 scarce) 1 mark
ii. 72 L 1 mark
iii. 40 – 24 = 16 L ethane 1 mark
