Answer all questions in this paper. Time: 20 minutes.

Question 1:

Methane reacts with steam under specific conditions to produce carbon monoxide and
hydrogen. The equation for this process is given below.

CH4(g) + H2O(g)  CO(g) + 3H2(g)

The table below shows the standard enthalpy changes of formation for CH4, H2O and CO.

compound ΔHfo/kJ mol–1

CH4 –75

H2O –242

CO –110

(a) Define the term standard enthalpy change of formation.

Question 1

(a) (heat/energy change) when 1 mole of substance is formed (1)

from its elements (1) 2
(b)
C(s) + ½ O2(g) → CO(g) 2
balanced equation forming 1 mol CO (1)
state symbols (1)
(c) cycle drawn/sum of ΔH(products) – ΔH(products)
–75 – 242 + x = –110 (1)
ΔH = (+)207 kJ mol–1 sign and correct answer (1)

Question 2

(a) (enthalpy/ energy/ heat change) when 1 mole of methane (NOT

absorbed)
is completely burnt/ burnt in excess oxygen
under standard conditions ( if conditions stated they must be
correct)

(b) C(s) + 2H2(g) → CH4 (g) 2

balanced equation forming 1 mol CH4 (1)
state symbols (1)
(c)

correct Hess’ cycle

x  890 = 572  394
x = 76 (kJ mol–1) sign and correct value needed
