Q10.

(a)

M1  

Correct answer scores 4 marks

1

M2 heat released = 1216 x 1000 x 0.0075 (= 9120) (J)

[or 1216 x 0.0075 = (9.12) (kJ)]

0.0075 scores M1 with or without working

9120 or 9.12 scores M1 and M2 with or without working

1

M3

Allow ECF at each stage

correct M3 scores M1 and M2

1

M4 final temperature = 19.1 + M3 = 62.7 or 63 (°C)

1

Alternative M3/4

M3 9120 = 50 × 4.18 × (Final T – 19.1)

M4 Final T = 62.7 or 63 (°C)

Ignore negative sign for q in M2 and/or ΔT in M3, but penalise if used as a temperature fall in M4 (if alternative method used for M3/4 and negative value for q is used, allow M3 for expression with negative q value but do not allow M4)

(temperatures to at least 2sf)

If candidates use a value in kJ rather than J to find ΔT / final T then they lose M3, but ECF to M4 [e.g. 9.12 rather than 9120 giving ΔT = 0.0436 and final temperature = 19.1(436) – this would give 3 marks]

If candidates use 0.63 g for m in M3, they will get ΔT = 3.46 and final temperature = 22.56 – this would give 3 marks]

Cannot score M2 using moles = 1

(b)   thermal energy / heat loss or

or idea of heat being transferred to calorimeter

incomplete combustion or

allow idea that it is not under standard conditions

evaporation

allow no lid / poor/no insulation

1

(c)  M1 6 × (–394), 6 × (–286) and –3920

1

M2 (ΔH =) [6 × (–394)] + [6 × (–286)] + 3920

   (or (ΔH =) [–2364)] + [–1716)] + 3920)

   (or (ΔH =) –4080 + 3920)

1

M3 = –160 (kJ mol–1)

1

–160 scores 3 marks; +160 scores 2 marks

–8000 scores 2 marks; +8000 scores 1 mark

–1876 scores 2 marks; +1876 scores 1 mark

M1 is for correct coefficients, i.e. 6 × ΔcH H2 & 6 × ΔcH C & 1 x ΔcH C6H12 (ignore whether + or –)

ECF from M1 to M2/3 for incorrect coefficients / arithmetic error / transposition

ECF from M2 to M3 for use of products – reactants

Ignore any cycle
