A-LEVEL Mistake in June 2010 chem unit mark scheme ?A student carried out a simple laboratory experiment to measure the enthalpy change for Process 3. The student showed that the temperature of 200 g of water increased by 8.0°C when 0.46 g of pure ethanol was burned in air and the heat produced was used to warm the water.
Use these results to calculate the value, in kJ mol–1, obtained by the student for this enthalpy change. (The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 JK–1 g–1)
Process 3 Complete combustion of ethanol:
CH3CH2OH + 3O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O
The mark scheme forgot to change 8°C to Kelvin, or the paper mistakenly said 8.0°C when it meant 8K ? ?... Can someone confirm this please, here is the mark scheme method;
M1 q = m c ΔT (this mark for correct mathematical formula)
M2 = 6688 (J) OR 6.688 (kJ) OR 6.69 (kJ) OR 6.7 (kJ)
M3 0.46g is 0.01 mol
therefore ΔH = – 669 kJmol-1 OR – 670 kJmol-1 OR – 668.8 kJmol-1 -

Re: A-LEVEL Mistake in June 2010 chem unit mark scheme ?You don't need to change from degrees Celsius as you thought you did. Therefore, the MS is correct.(Original post by iAre Teh Lejend)

Re: A-LEVEL Mistake in June 2010 chem unit mark scheme ?Why not ?...(Original post by Tullia)
You don't need to change from degrees Celsius as you thought you did. Therefore, the MS is correct. -

Why not ?... -

Re: A-LEVEL Mistake in June 2010 chem unit mark scheme ?I don't understand, in the book they always converted degrees Celcius to Kelvin. :/(Original post by Tullia)
