17N.2.hl.TZ0.5

Ethane-1,2-diol, HOCH2CH2OH, reacts with thionyl chloride, SOCl2, according to the reaction below.

HOCH2CH2OH (l) + 2SOCl2 (l) → ClCH2CH2Cl (l) + 2SO2 (g) + 2HCl (g)

(a)

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction using the following data.

[2]

Markscheme

ΔHθ = [–165.2 + 2(–296.9) + 2(–92.3)] – [–454.7 + 2(–245.7)]

«ΔHθ = +»2.5 «kJ»

 

Award [2] for correct final answer.

Award [1] for –2.5 «kJ».

Do not accept ECF for M2 if more than one error in M1.

(b)

Calculate the standard entropy change for this reaction using the following data.

[1]

Markscheme

«ΔSθ = [208.5 + 2(248.1) + 2(186.8)] – [166.9 + 2(278.6)]»

«ΔSθ = +» 354.2 «J K–1 mol–1»

(c)

The standard free energy change, ΔGθ, for the above reaction is –103 kJ mol–1 at 298 K.

Suggest why ΔGθ has a large negative value considering the sign of ΔHθ in part (a).

[2]

Markscheme

«3 moles of» liquid to «4 moles of» gas

OR

«large» positive ΔS

OR

«large» increase in entropy

TΔS > ΔH «at the reaction temperature»
