Question 2 of 16

3. Explain, in terms of making and breaking bonds, why a reaction could be endothermic

The energy needed to break the bonds is less than the energy released to make the bonds

Breaking the bonds is more favourable than making them

The bonds in the reagents are weaker than the bonds in the products

The energy needed to break the bonds is more than the energy released to make the bonds

Question 5 of 16

6. Explain why experimental values of enthalpy change differ from theoretical values

Different equipment produces different results. Heat energy is lost to the surroundings

Different equipment produces different results. Not all the reactants are used up

Different equipment produces different results. Heat energy is lost to the surroundings. Not all the reactants are used up

Heat energy is lost to the surroundings. Not all the reactants are used up.

Question 7 of 16

8. In a combustion calorimetry experiment, 0.78g of ethanol (C₂H₅OH) produced 12,540 J of heat energy. Calculate the molar enthalpy change.

-213 kJ/mol (Amount = 46/0.78 = 59.0 mol. Answer = 12540/59.0 = 213 kJ/mol)

-738 kJ/mol (Amount = 0.78/46 = 0.017 mol. Answer = 12540/1000/0.017 = 738 kJ/mol)

-425 kJ/mol (Amount = 23/0.78 = 29.5 mol. Answer = 12540/29.5 = 425 kJ/mol)

-369 kJ/mol (Amount = 0.78/23 = 0.034 mol. Answer = 12540/1000/0.034 = 369 kJ/mol)
