22N.2.sl.TZ0.e.ii

Ammonium nitrate, NH₄NO₃, is used as a high nitrogen fertilizer.

Cold packs contain ammonium nitrate and water separated by a membrane.

The change in enthalpy when ammonium nitrate dissolves in water is 25.69 kJ mol⁻¹. Determine the mass of ammonium nitrate in the cold pack using your answer obtained in (e)(i) and section 6 of the data booklet.

If you did not obtain an answer in (e)(i), use 3.11 × 10³ J, although this is not the correct answer.

Markscheme

« $2.58 \times 10^{3} J \times \frac{1 k J}{1000 J} \times \frac{1 m o l}{25.69 k J} =$ » $0.100$ «mol» ✔

« $0.100$ mol $\times 80.06$ g mol⁻¹ =» 8.01 «g» ✔

Award [2] for the correct final answer.

Accept range of $8.00 - 8.10$ «g».

If $3.11 \times 10^{3}$ J used then answer is $9.69$ «g».

Examiners report

The question was less familiar, however, almost half of the candidates obtained the mass of ammonium nitrate in the pack. This question discriminated well between high achieving and low achieving candidates.
