Calorimetry Past Paper Questions 3

Q13.

(a)     M1    Temperature on the y-axis and uses sensible scales (i.e. minimum 20 little squares for each °C on y-axis)

Lose mark if temperature scale starts at 0°C

This mark scores if all points fit on the grid. Do not penalise M1 if extrapolation to 4 mins goes off the grid – this is penalised in M3.

1

M2    Plots all the points correctly (± half a small square)

Lose mark if the points go off the grid Ignore a plotted point at 4 mins used to work out ∆T

1

Both lines must be straight and through all points except 5th minute; lose mark if the lines are kinked/doubled. Any line through 5th minute loses mark

“S-shaped curve” through points loses M3 and M4

M3    Draws two best fit lines (0-3 mins) and (6-12 mins)

1

M4    Extrapolates both lines to at least the 4th minute

Lose mark if the extrapolation goes off the grid.

1

M5    21.9 – 19.8 = 2.1 (°C)

Allow calculation of ∆T from S-shaped curve as: Value at 4th minute – 19.8 but not if 0 (°C)

∆T value ecf from incorrect lines/extrapolation

∆T must be to at least 1dp

If value of ∆T = 2.1, then award M5

1

(b)     0.2 / 2.1 × 100 = 9.5 %

Conseq on (a)

Ignore no of sfs.

1

(c)     Replace the glass beaker with a polystyrene cup / insulate the glass beaker / use a lid

Ignore use more dilute solutions

Ignore suggested materials for insulation

Do not allow copper calorimeter / bomb calorimeter

1

(d)     Increase magnitude of temperature change

Ignore references to volume changes

1

by increasing the concentration of the acid/alkali

Mark independently

1

(e)     M1    HOOCCOOH + 2KOH → K2(OOCCOO) + 2H2O

M1 – equation (allow ionic KOH / 2C2O4)

H2C2O4 + 2KOH → K2C2O4 + 2H2O

ignore state symbols

allow multiples

Mark independently

M2    q ( = mc∆T) = 100 × 4.2 × 3.2 = 1344 J

M2 – process

(ignore sign here)

(allow calculations involving 4.18 which leads to 1338 J)

1

M3    n HOOCCOOH = 25 × 0.800 / 1000 = 0.020

n KOH = 75 × 0.6 / 1000 = 0.045

M3 – calculations of amounts, in moles, of both the ethanedioic acid and potassium hydroxide (both calculations needed)

1

M4    Moles of water = 0.040 moles

M4 – answer (stated or used in calculation of ∆H)

1

M5    ∆H = –1.344/0.04

= – 33.6 ( kJ mol–1)

M5 – ecf on M2 and M4

Answer must be negative and to at least 2sf

∆H = – M2 (in kJ) / M4

–32.5 – –34 scores 4/4 (M2M5 + equation)

+32.5 – +34 scores 3/4 (M2, M3, M4 + equation)

–65 – –68 scores 3/4 (+ equation)

+65 – +68 scores 2/4 (+ equation)

–52 – –54 scores 3/4 (+ equation)

+52 – +54 scores 2/4 (+ equation)

2

(f)      HOOCCOOH is a weak acid / not fully dissociated

H2SO4 is a strong(er)acid / fully dissociated / dissociates more

1

(more) energy needed to break bonds/complete dissociation / dissociation is endothermic

So less energy is needed for dissociation of sulfuric acid

Ignore references to heat loss
