The enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol was investigated in a school laboratory. A spirit burner containing ethanol was used to heat water in a metal can.
A total of 0.0250 mol of ethanol was burned. The following data were recorded.
| Quantity | Value |
|---|---|
| Mass of water / g ±0.01 | 100.00 |
| Initial temperature of water / °C ±0.5 | 20.0 |
| Final temperature of water / °C ±0.5 | 50.0 |
(i) Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol, ΔHc, in kJ mol−1, from this data. Use sections 1 and 2 of the data booklet.
(ii) Suggest the major source of systematic error in this experiment and an improvement to reduce this error.
(iii) Calculate the percentage uncertainty in the temperature change to two significant figures.
(iv) Suggest one way of reducing the percentage uncertainty in this experiment.
(v) Calculate the overall percentage error of this experiment. Use your answer to part (i) and section 14 of the data booklet. (If you did not obtain an answer to part (i), use −400 kJ mol−1, but this is not the correct value.)

(i) «Q = mcΔT = 100.00 g × 4.18 J g−1 K−1 × 30.0 K =» 12 540 J ✔
«» −502 kJ mol−1 ✔
(ii) Source of systematic error: heat loss «to the surroundings, the can and the air» ✔
Improvement: insulate the can / put a lid on the can / use a draught shield around the apparatus
OR use a calibrated (bomb) calorimeter ✔
(iii) «» 3.3 % ✔
(iv) use a thermometer with smaller scale divisions «a smaller uncertainty»
OR use a smaller mass of water / burn more ethanol so that the temperature change is larger
OR use a more precise balance ✔
(v) «» 63.3 % ✔
Alternative with the given −400 kJ mol−1: «(1367 − 400)/1367 × 100 =» 70.7 %

(i) [2]: award [1 max] for +502 kJ mol−1; award [2] for the correct final answer with sign. (ii) [2]: M1 the source (heat loss), M2 an improvement that addresses it. (iii) [1]: accept 2.4 % if the uncertainties are combined as . Do not award for 3.33 without rounding to two significant figures. (iv) [1]: do not accept more repetitions. (v) [1]: ECF from (i).

The experimental value is only about a third of the data booklet value; the large percentage error comes from heat lost to the surroundings and from incomplete combustion, not from the uncertainties in (iii).
