Calorimetry Past Paper Questions 4

Q26.

(a)    Chloride (ions) are smaller (than bromide ions)

Must state or imply ions.

Allow chloride has greater charge density (than bromide).

Penalise chlorine ions once only (max 2 / 3).

1

So the force of attraction between chloride ions and water is stronger

This can be implied from M1 and M3 but do not allow intermolecular forces.

1

Chloride ions attract the δ+ on H of water / electron deficient H on water

Allow attraction between ions and polar / dipole water.

Penalise H+ (ions) and mention of hydrogen bonding for M3

Ignore any reference to electronegativity.

Note: If water not mentioned can score M1 only.

(b)     ΔHsolution = ΔHL + ΔHhyd K+ ions + ΔHhyd Br ions / = 670 − 322 − 335

Allow ΔHsolution= ΔHL + ΣΔHhyd

1

= (+)13 (kJ mol−1)

Ignore units even if incorrect.

+13 scores M1 and M2

−13 scores 0

−16 scores M2 only (transcription error).

1

(c)    (i)      The entropy change is positive / entropy increases

ΔS is negative loses M1 and M3

1

Because 1 mol (solid) → 2 mol (aqueous ions) / no of particles increases

Allow the aqueous ions are more disordered (than the solid).

Mention of atoms / molecules loses M2

1

Therefore TΔS > ΔH

1

(ii)     Amount of KCl = 5/Mr = 5/74.6 = 0.067(0) mol

If moles of KCl not worked out can score M3, M4 only (answer to M4 likely to be 205.7 K)

1

Heat absorbed = 17.2 × 0.0670 = 1.153 kJ

Process mark for M1 × 17.2

1

Heat absorbed = mass × sp ht × ΔT

(1.153 × 1000) = 20 × 4.18 × ΔT

If calculation uses 25 g not 20, lose M3 only (M4 = 11.04, M5 = 287)

1

ΔT = 1.153 × 1000 / (20 × 4.18) = 13.8 K

If 1000 not used, can only score M1, M2, M3

M4 is for a correct ΔT

Note that 311.8 K scores 4 (M1, M2, M3, M4).

1

T = 298 − 13.8 = 284(.2) K

If final temperature is negative, M5 = 0

Allow no units for final temp, penalise wrong units.
