TOPIC 6: ENERGETICS

Question Answer Additional guidance Mark

number
1(a) Heat energy change measured at constant pressure (1) (1)
1(b) Enthalpy change/energy change/heat change when one mole of a (3)
substance (1) is formed from its elements (1) at 298 K/25°C/a stated
temperature and 100 kPa/1 atm pressure. (1)
1(c) Both value and explanation required for one mark: (1)
● 0/zero
● because it is an element in its standard state / defined as 0 (1)

Question Answer Additional guidance Mark

number
2(a) ∆rH = –1411 + (–286) – (–1560) (1) First mark can be gained from a correct (2)
= –137 kJ mol –1
(1) cycle.
Both sign and value must be correct.
2(b)(i) Enthalpy change when one mole of a covalent bond in the gaseous (2)
state is broken (1) averaged over a range of compounds. (1)
2(b)(ii) bonds broken: (C=C + 4  C–H + H–H) = 612 + 1652 + 436 = 2700 (3)
(1)
bonds formed: (C–C + 6  C–H) = 347 + 2478 = 2825 (1)
∆rH = 2700 – 2825 = –125 kJ mol–1 (1)
2(c) Mean bond energies are not equal to the actual bond enthalpies for (1)
the reactants and product/vary with the environment. (1)

Question Answer Additional guidance Mark

number
4(a) 0.72  60.0 = 0.012 mol (1) 1.2  10–2 (1)
4(b) heat energy absorbed = 100  4.18  22.4 = 9363 J (1) (1)
4(c) energy absorbed = 9363  (1000  0.012) = 780 kJ mol–1 (1) (2)
enthalpy change of combustion = –780 kJ mol (1) –1
Accept: 4(b)  (1000  answer a(a))
4(d) % uncertainty = 100  (2020 – 780)  2020 = 61.4% (1) Accept: 100  (2020 – answer 4(c)) 
2020 (1)
4(e) B (1) (1)
