1 Propanone, CH3COCH3, is an organic liquid which is soluble in water.
Aqueous propanone reacts with aqueous iodine. The reaction is catalysed by H+(aq) ions.
CH3COCH3(aq) + I2(aq) CH3COCH2I(aq) + HI(aq)
The order of reaction with respect to iodine can be determined experimentally.
An experiment is carried out using the following solutions.
solution A, 25.0cm3 of 1.00moldm3 CH3COCH3(aq)
solution B, 25.0cm3 of 1.00moldm3 H2SO4(aq) solution C, 50.0cm3 of 0.200moldm3 I2(aq)
The solutions are mixed to start the reaction. At certain time intervals, a 10.0cm3 portion of the mixture is withdrawn and transferred to a conical flask containing excess sodium hydrogencarbonate, NaHCO3(aq). This prevents any further significant reaction taking place by removing the H+(aq) ions. The concentration of unreacted I2(aq) in each 10.0cm3 portion of the mixture can then be determined by titration with aqueous thiosulfate ions, S2O32(aq).
(a) State the size and type of apparatus needed to prepare a suitable volume of a standard solution of 1.00moldm3 CH3COCH3(aq) from liquid propanone.
Calculate the mass of propanone needed to prepare this standard solution.
(c) Each 10.0cm3 portion of mixture removed from the main reaction is added to a separate solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate, NaHCO3(aq), in a conical flask to remove H+(aq) ions.
(i) Which piece of apparatus should be used to transfer each 10.0cm3 portion of mixture to the conical flask?
(d) The unreacted iodine in each 10.0cm3 portion of the mixture is titrated against 0.100moldm3 aqueous thiosulfate ions, S2O32(aq), to determine the concentration of I2(aq) in the mixture at the time that the 10.0cm3 portion was withdrawn.
I2(aq) + 2S2O32(aq) 2I(aq) + S4O62(aq)
(i) A 10.0cm3 portion of mixture is removed at time=0. This is before any of the 0.200moldm3 I2(aq) had reacted.
Calculate the volume of 0.100moldm3 S2O32(aq) needed to react with the iodine present in this 10.0cm3 portion of mixture.
2 A student carried out a series of experiments to determine the enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol, C2H5OH.
A diagram of the apparatus is shown below.
thermometer
metal can clamp
water draught shield
spirit burner ethanol
The ethanol in the spirit burner was burned to heat a measured mass of water in the metal can. The student recorded the initial and final mass of ethanol and the initial and final temperature of the water for each experiment.
(a) Process the results in the table to calculate the amount of ethanol burned and the energy transferred to the water in each experiment.
Record all answers to three significant figures.
[Specific heat capacity of water, c = 4.18Jg1K1] [Ar: C, 12.0; H, 1.0; O, 16.0]

(b) Plot a graph on the grid below to show how the energy transferred to the water varies with the amount of ethanol burned. Draw the line of best fit.
(d) The gradient of the graph gives the magnitude of the enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol.
Determine the gradient of your graph. State the co-ordinates of the two points you used for your calculation. Record the value of the gradient to three significant figures.
co-ordinates of two points used ............................................... ...............................................
gradient = ............................ kJmol1

(e) Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure as these experiments, the accepted value for the enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol is 1370kJmol1.
(f) (i) Calculate the maximum percentage error in the measurement of each mass used in experiment 1.
maximum error in mass measured maximum percentage error/% a single reading
0.391g of 0.0005g ethanol burned
40.0g of water 0.05g
[1]
(ii) Another student repeated the experiments using the method described under the same conditions. The value obtained for the enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol was 612kJmol1.
Suggest a reason why the errors calculated in (i) do not fully account for the difference between the students value and the accepted value for enthalpy change of combustion, 1370kJmol1.
