Organic chemistry can be used to synthesize a variety of products.

(b)

Determine the change in enthalpy, ΔH, for the combustion of but-2-ene, using section 11 of the data booklet. 

CH3CH=CHCH3 (g) + 6O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g)

Markscheme

Bonds broken:
2(C–C) + 1(C=C) + 8(C–H) + 6O=O / 2(346) + 1(614) + 8(414) + 6(498) / 7606 «kJ» ✓

Bonds formed:
8(C=O) + 8(O–H) / 8(804) + 8(463) / 10 136 «kJ» ✓

Enthalpy change:
«Bonds broken – Bonds formed = 7606 kJ – 10 136 kJ =» –2530 «kJ» ✓


Award [2 max] for «+» 2530 «kJ».

Award [3] for correct final answer.
