Very few candidates obtained the correct
temperature change and this proved to be
2 C 1
the most difficult of the multiple choice
questions. The majority of candidates
incorrectly answered as B, based on
halving the quantities, leading to halving
the temperature change.

Examiner’s Comment:
In this part, candidates were presented
with the results of an enthalpy experiment
and other related data. They were then
required to determine two enthalpy
changes, one directly from the
experimental results, the other indirectly
using Hess’ Law.
No guidance was supplied about how to
carry out this analysis.

Most candidates scored this mark
successfully, identifying the appropriate
value. The only consistent error here was
a failure to include the appropriate sign.
