Section B [15 marks]

Answer all questions in this section
16. (a) Define the term standard enthalpy change of combustion.

[2 marks]

............................................................................................................................................................................
............................................................................................................................................................................
(b)

Gas used in camping stoves are available in canisters, which contain mainly butane. To
determine the standard enthalpy change of combustion of butane, a student heated a beaker
of water on the stove and measured the temperature rise. The canister was weighed before and
after the experiment so as to obtain the mass of gas used. The table on the right gives the results
obtained.
mass of butane used = 3.4 g

mass of water used = 500 g

temperature rise = 44 C

i. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of butane.

ii. Give one precaution that should be observed when carrying out such an experiment so as to
obtain accurate results.

............................................................................................................................................................................
iii. From the data given, what is the enthalpy change of combustion of butane? [Assume the heat
capacity of water = 4.2 J K-1 cm-3 ]
[3 marks]

iv. The standard enthalpy change of combustion of butane is -2877 kJ mol-1. Suggest a reason for the
difference between this value and that obtained in (b)(iii).
