1. When 1.00 g of phenylethene (Mr = 104) was burnt under a container of water, it was
found that 250 g of water was heated from 20 oC to 50 oC. Use the appropriate data from
the Data-Booklet to calculate the enthalpy change of combustion of phenylethene. [–3260]

3. In an experiment, 3.00 g of zinc was added to 25.0 cm3 of 0.80 mol dm3 of copper sulfate,
CuSO4 solution. The maximum temperature rise was found to be 2.0 oC. Determine the
enthalpy change of the reaction. [–10.5]

(a) With reference to above data, calculate the standard enthalpy change of
decomposition of nitroglycerin. [–1423]
(b) Calculate G at 25 oC for this decomposition given that S = +208 J K1 mol1.
Give your answer to 3 significance figures and hence predict the spontaneity of the
reaction at 25 oC. [–1480]
5. Methane, methanol and hydrogen have all been investigated as possible alternative fuels
for motor vehicles that currently use petrol. The table below compares the energy
released on combustion of these fuels.

hydrogen 0.0884 286 143 0.0126
(a) One alternative fuel technology involves the conversion of liquid methanol into
hydrogen gas, as shown by the equation below.
CH3OH(l) 2H2(g) + CO(g)
(i) Calculate the standard enthalpy change, H, for this reaction using
appropriate data from the table above.
You will also need to use the standard enthalpy change of combustion of
carbon monoxide, which is 283 kJ mol1. [+129]
(ii) If the standard entropy change, S, for this reaction is +332 J K1 mol1,
calculate the minimum temperature above which this reaction is spontaneous.

6. An industrial method for manufacturing ethanal involves passing ethanol vapour and air
over a heated copper catalyst.
Cu at 300 oC
CH3CH2OH + ½ O2 CH3CHO + H2O
Using bond energy data from the Data-Booklet calculate the enthalpy change for the
reaction. [Hint: Draw out all the bonds] [–182]
7. (a) Using the following information, and relevant data from the Data-Booklet, construct
an energy cycle to calculate the lattice energy of calcium fluoride, CaF2. [–2640]
Electron affinity of fluorine = 328 kJ mol1
Enthalpy change of atomisation of calcium = +178 kJ mol1
Enthalpy change of formation of CaF2 = 1220 kJ mol1
(b) Using the following data, together with your answer in (a), construct an energy cycle
to calculate a value for the enthalpy change of solution of calcium fluoride, CaF2.
