Calorimetry Past Paper Questions 1

(c)  (q = mcΔT =) 25.0 × 4.18 × (20.2 − 12.2) OR 25.0 × 4.18 × 8

(= 836 (J) or 0.836 (kJ))

Not if m = 29

Ignore sign of q

1

4.00 g NH4NO3 = 4.00/80 OR 0.0500 mol

1

ΔH⦵soln = 836/0.05 = 16720 = (+)16.7(2) kJ mol−1

Allow ecf from M1 and/or from M2

–16.7(2) = 2/3

+19.4 = 2/3 (using m = 29 in M1)

−19.4 = 1/3

+2.68 = 2/3

−2.68 = 1/3

+587 or +588 = 2/3

−587 or −588 = 1/3

Allow 2 sig figs or more

1

(d)  (2 × 0.1/8) × 100 = 2.5%

Allow ecf from ΔT in (c)

1

(e)  use a larger mass/amount of NH4NO3 / solid

Marking points are independent

Allow smaller volume of water / less water

Allow use more NH4NO3

Not larger volume of water

Ignore higher concentration (of NH4NO3)

Ignore any references to changing apparatus e.g. insulation

1

so temperature change/decrease is greater

OR final temperature is lower

Allow temperature increase is greater

Not final temperature is higherr

1

(f)  heat gain (from the surroundings) / incomplete dissolvingg

Allow incomplete reaction

Allow thermal energy gain

Not heat loss

Ignore energy gain

Ignore references to mistakes in method
