Answers available below

section b answer all questions in the spaces provided do not write outside the box methanol can be regarded as a carbon neutral fuel because it can be synthesised from carbon dioxide as shown in the equation below co g h g ch oh g h o g standard enthalpy of formation and standard entropy data for the starting materials and products are shown in the following table kj mol hf s j k mol co g h g ch oh g h o g a calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction marks b calculate the standard entropy change for this reaction marks wmp jun chem do not write outside the box c use your answers to parts a and b to explain why this reaction is not feasible at high temperatures calculate the temperature at which the reaction becomes feasible suggest why the industrial process is carried out at a higher temperature than you have calculated if you have been unable to calculate values for h and s you may assume that they are kj mol and j k mol respectively these are not the correct values marks extra space question continues on the next page turn over wmp jun chem d write an equation for the complete combustion of methanol use your equation to explain why the combustion reaction in the gas phase is feasible at all temperatures do not write outside the box marks extra space e give one reason why methanol synthesised from carbon dioxide and hydrogen may not be a carbon neutral fuel mark wmp jun chem do not write outside the box turn over for the next question do not write on this page answer in the spaces provided turn over wmp jun chem
