Paper 2 · November 2008 · Thermochemistry and Energetics

Burning butanol raised the temperature of 150 g of water by 10 °C. Taking the specific heat capacity of water as $4.2\ J\,g^{-1}\,K^{-1}$ , the heat produced is

A63 kJ

B630 kJ

C0.63 kJ

D6.3 kJ

Explanation

q = mc\Delta T = 150 \times 4.2 \times 10 = 6300\ J = 6.3\ kJ

For $2H_2 + 2NO \rightarrow 2H_2O + N_2$ , doubling $[NO]$ at constant $[H_2]$ raised the rate from 0.024 to $0.096\ mol\,dm^{-3}\,s^{-1}$ . The order of reaction with respect to NO is
The reaction is first order with respect to $H_2$ and second order with respect to NO. The rate equation is
When $[H_2] = [NO] = 1\ mol\,dm^{-3}$ the rate is $0.024\ mol\,dm^{-3}\,s^{-1}$ and rate $= k[H_2][NO]^2$ . The rate constant is
For $2NO(g) + Cl_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NOCl(g)$ , raising $[NO]$ from 0.10 to $0.20\ mol\,dm^{-3}$ at constant $[Cl_2]$ raised the initial rate from 0.0001 to $0.0004\ mol\,dm^{-3}\,s^{-1}$ . The order with respect to NO is
The iodine liberated in an experiment required $15.0\ cm^3$ of $0.03\ mol\,dm^{-3}$ sodium thiosulphate. The number of moles of thiosulphate used is
