SECTION C Answer ALL the questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided. 17 Ethanoic acid, CH3COOH, is a carboxylic acid with many uses, including as a food additive. It can be made by the reaction of butane with oxygen. 2CH3CH2CH2CH3(g) + 5O2(g) (cid:85) 4CH3COOH(l) + 2H2O(l) (a) (i) Use the Data Booklet to complete the table below. CH3CH2CH2CH3(g) O2(g) CH3COOH(l) (cid:507)H (cid:57) f / kJ mol1 S(cid:57) / J mol1 K1 205 (3) H2O(l) (ii) Use data from your table to calculate the standard enthalpy change, in kJ mol1, for this reaction. 2CH3CH2CH2CH3(g) + 5O2(g) (cid:314) 4CH3COOH(l) + 2H2O(l) (iii) Use data from your table to calculate the standard entropy change of the system, in J mol1 K1, for the same reaction. 2CH3CH2CH2CH3(g) + 5O2(g) (cid:314) 4CH3COOH(l) + 2H2O(l) (2) (2) 24 *P45075A02428*<br />
 (iv) Use your answer to (a)(ii) to calculate (cid:507)Ssurroundings and use this and your answer to (a)(iii) to calculate (cid:507)Stotal for the reaction at 298 K. (v) It was suggested that increasing the temperature of the reaction to more than 298 K would produce a greater yield of ethanoic acid. Explain, in terms of the effect on (cid:507)Ssystem, (cid:507)Ssurroundings and hence (cid:507)Stotal, whether this would be the case. (3) (3)(b) Infrared spectroscopy can be used to follow the progress of reactions. Using information from the Data Booklet, suggest one way this technique could be used to follow the progress of the reaction in (a) to produce ethanoic acid. (1)*P45075A02528* 25 Turn over<br />
 (c) Ethanoic acid is the food additive E260. Suggest the role it may have when added to foodstuffs. (1)(d) An organic compound, Q, is found to contain 52.5% carbon and 7.5% hydrogen by mass. (i) Use these data to confirm its empirical formula is C7H12O4. (ii) Explain how the mass spectrum of Q could be used to confirm that its relative molecular mass is 160.

 (iii) The table below summarises some information about parts of the nmr spectrum of compound Q. Use the Data Booklet, and your knowledge of features in nmr spectra, to complete the table with respect to the features of compound Q shown in bold.
