Combustion topic test solutions

SECTION A: Multiple-choice questions (1 mark each)

Question 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

The definition of specific heat capacity – the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of the substance by
1 0C.

Question 2

Answer: D

Explanation:

Question 3

Answer: A

Explanation:

The question refers to the reverse reaction. The value of ΔH can be read from the graph

Question 4

Answer: D

Explanation:

The energy from hydrogen will be 10 × 141 = 1410 kJ


Mass ethane = 1410/51.9 = 27.2

Question 5

Answer: C

Explanation:

2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g)  4CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)


The volume of O2 will be 4 × 7/2 = 14

Question 6

Answer: B

Explanation:

Energy = 1.2 × 29600 = 35520 J

Change in temp = 35520/(4.18×800) = 10.6

Question 7

Answer: B

Explanation:

Energy from 13 mol is 5660 kJ.


From 1 mol it will be 435 kJ

Question 8

Answer: A

Explanation:

The formula is obtained by substituting m = n × M into n =

Question 9

Answer: B

Explanation:

From Boyle’s Law, pressure and volume are inversely proportional as this graph shows.

Question 10

Answer: D

Explanation:

Incomplete combustion usually forms arrange of products. The amount of carbon formed will increase as
oxygen becomes more scarce.
