SECTION C Answer ALL the questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided. 17 Adipic acid, HOOC(CH2)4COOH, is a dicarboxylic acid used in the production of polymers. It can be made by the reaction of buta-1,3-diene with carbon monoxide and water. CH2CHCHCH2(g) + 2CO(g) + 2H2O(l) (cid:314) HOOC(CH2)4COOH(s) (a) (i) Use the Data Booklet to complete the table below.

(iii) Use data from the table to calculate the standard entropy change of the system, in J mol1 K1, when adipic acid is formed from buta-1,3-diene, carbon monoxide and water.

 (iv) Use your answers to (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) to calculate (cid:507)Ssurroundings and (cid:507)Stotal for the reaction at 298 K. (v) It was suggested that decreasing the temperature of the reaction to less than 298 K would produce a greater yield of adipic 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. During the reaction to produce adipic acid, suggest one peak which diminishes and one peak which appears. Use information from the Data Booklet to identify two such possible peaks, giving their wave numbers and the bonds involved. (2)*P42978A02528* 25 Turn over<br />
 (c) Adipic acid is used as an additive in some fruit jellies. Suggest what effect the adipic acid will have on the flavour of the jelly. (1)(d) An organic compound, Q, is found to contain 49.3% carbon and 6.8% hydrogen by mass. (i) Use these data to confirm its empirical formula is C3H5O2. (3) 26 *P42978A02628*<br />
 (ii) The structure of Q is shown below. H3C H2 C OH H C CH3 The table below summarises some information about parts of the nmr spectrum of compound Q. Use the Data Booklet, and your knowledge of splitting patterns, to complete the table with respect to the features of compound Q shown in bold.
