Question 13

(3marks)

In a bomb calorimeter, a 2.0g sample of ethanol was burned in an excess of oxygen. The
diagram below shows that the bomb calorimeter consists of a combustion chamber
completely surrounded by a water bath containing 1 litre of water, which absorbs the heat
generated by the combustion reaction.
The density of water is 1.0 Kg L-1.

The temperature of the water rose by 14C.

Assuming that all of the heat of combustion was absorbed by the water, calculate the molar
heat of combustion of ethanol.

Question 16

(11marks)

Fermentation involves the catalysed reaction of glucose (C6H12O6) with water to produce
ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and carbon dioxide. A student studying the mass change that occurs
during fermentation added glucose, water and yeast to a flask and stoppered the flask with
some cotton wool. The student measured the mass of the flask daily for seven days. The
