Q1

(a)  M1    6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

1

M2    C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Allow C2H6O for ethanol formula

1

M3    2C2H5OH + 6O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O

M1/2/3 allow multiples

M3 C2H5OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O

1

M4    explains with reference to relevant equations that formation of C6H12O6 takes in 6CO2 and fermentation and combustion of ethanol gives out 6CO2

M4 depends on having appropriate equations in M1/2/3 showing 6 CO2 in and out

1

(b)  transport (from South America to Europe) produces CO2 / has C emissions / has larger C footprint

Process to separate ethanol from propanone and butan-1-ol produces CO2 / has C emissions / has larger C footprint

1

(c)  M1    685.5 (686), 668(.25), 595(.33…) in third column of table

M1 ignore any minus sign on values

1

M2    depends on their answer to M1 − must be the compound giving most energy per mole of CO2 released (correct M1 would give ethanol)

M2 need evidence of attempt to calculate energy released per C atom (i.e. per mole of CO2 formed)

1

(d)  M1    amount propanone = (=0.0203 mol)

1

M2    q = M1 × 1786 (= 36.3 kJ = 36300 J)

1

M3    ΔT (=) = 33.4 (°C) (allow 32.8-33.4)

M3 ignore sign

1

M4    final temperature = (22.3 + M3) = 55.7 (°C) (allow 55-596)

M4 must show a temperature rise

1

Correct answer scores 4 marks

Allow ECF at each stage
