1) The enthalpy change for the reaction:

CH4 (g)

C (g) + 4H (g)

is +1648 kJ mol

Hence the mean bond enthalpy for the CH bond is

A

+329.6 kJ/ mol

+412.0 kJ /mol

+1648 kJ/ mol

+6592 kJ/ mol

2) The enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol was determined using the apparatus shown in the diagram below. In
the experiment, the temperature increase of the water inthe beaker is measured when a known mass of the ethanol is
burned.

(a) The results of the experiment are summarized in the table below.
Mass of water in the beaker

= 250.00 g

Mass of spirit burner + contents (initial)

= 63.21 g

Mass of spirit burner + contents (final)

=62.47 g

Temperature of water (initial)

=21.0 C

Temperature of water (final)

=31.5 C

(i) Calculate the heat energy produced by the combustion of the alcohol using the equation
Heat energy produced (J) = mass of water 4.18 temperature change

(ii) Calculate the number of moles of ethanol burned in this experiment (the formula of ethanol is C2H5OH)

(iii) Calculate the enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol in kJ/ mol

b) The data book value for the enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol is 1370 kJ/ mol
(i) Calculate the percentage error in the value calculated in (a)(iii) in comparison with the data book value.

ii) List three ways in which the design of the experiment causes the results to be so different from the data book value.
(You should be specific but detailed explanations are not required.)

5) Calculate the average bond enthalpy of a C-Cl bond given the following data:
C (graphite) C (g)

H =+715 kJ/mol

Cl2 (g) 2Cl (g)

H =+242.2 kJ/mol

C (graphite) + Cl2(g) CCl4(l)

H =-135.5 kJ/mol

Gaseous diborane, B2H6, and gaseous benzene,C6H6, combust in oxygen as follows:

H2O(g)
-424

B2H6 (g) + 3O2 (g) B2O3 (s)+3H2O(l)

C6H6 (g) + 7.5 O2 (g) 6CO2 (g) +3H2O (l)
Calculate which will produce the greater amount of heat, 50 kg of B2H6 or 100kg of C6H6 (g).

8) Draw an enthalpy level diagram for the following sequence of reactions.

N2 (g) + O2 (g) NO (g)

H=+90.3 kj/mol

NO (g) + O2 (g) NO2 (g)

H=-57.1 kj/mol

And hence calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction.

N2 (g) + O2 (g) NO2 (g)
