Q18.

(a)     C6H11OH +     6CO2 + 6H2O

1

(b)     Temperature rise = 20.1

q = 50.0 × 4.18 × 20.1 = 4201 (J)

1

Mass of alcohol burned = 0.54 g and Mr alcohol = 100.0

∴ mol of alcohol = n = 0.54 / 100 = 0.0054

1

Heat change per mole = q / 1000n OR q / n

= 778 kJ mol–1 OR 778 000 J mol–1

1

ΔH = –778 kJ mol–1 OR –778 000 J mol–1

M4 is for answer with negative sign for exothermic reaction

Units are tied to the final answer and must match

1

(c)     Less negative than the reference

1

Heat loss OR incomplete combustion OR evaporation of alcohol OR heat transferred to beaker not taken into account

1

(d)     Water has a known density (of 1.0 g cm–3)

1

Therefore, a volume of 50.0 cm3 could be measured out
