This reaction takes place in two steps. In step 1, an acid-base reaction occurs. CH 3C≡C:− is formed from the reaction of propyne and a strong base, sodium amide, NaNH2. step 1: CH3C≡CH + :NH2− → CH3C≡C:− + NH3 In step 2, the intermediate anion reacts with bromoethane to form the product. step 2: CH3CH2Br + CH3C≡C:− → CH3CH2C≡CCH3 + Br− For Examiner’s Use Name and suggest the mechanism for step 2. Show relevant dipoles, using curly arrows to indicate the movement of electron pairs.

The standard enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol is –1367 kJ mol −1. In an experiment, 0.23 g of ethanol was burned under a container, using a spirit lamp. An unknown mass of water was heated from 30 oC to its boiling point . The process was found to be 70 % efficient. Calculate the mass of water that could be brought to the boiling point by burning this amount of ethanol. [Given specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J g-1 K-1] [2] For Examiner’s Use ...................................................................................................................................... …………………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………… (e) (i) Nitrosyl bromide , Br -N=O is an inorganic halogen -containing compound. It decomposes to NO and Br2 as shown below. 2NOBr(g) → 2NO(g) + Br2(g), Hr Given that the bond energy of N−Br is +120 kJ mol −1, use appropriate bond energy data from the Data Booklet to calculate the enthalpy change of decomposition of nitrosyl bromide. [2] (ii) Enthalpy changes of formation of NOBr(g) and NO(g) and the enthalpy change of vaporisation of Br2(l) are given below. Hf (NOBr(g)) y kJ mol−1 Hf (NO(g)) +90 kJ mol−1 Hvap(Br2(l)) +31 kJ mol−1 With the aid of an energy cycle, use your answer in (i) and the given data to calculate the enthalpy change of formation of NOBr(g).

[2] (ii) Describe a reaction that illustrates the relative oxidising abilities of two halogens of your choice. [1] (iii) The halogens iodine and chlorine react together to form solid iodine trichloride, ICl3. Given the following enthalpy changes, calculate the standard enthalpy change of formation of ICl3(s). I2(g) + 3Cl2(g) → 2ICl3(s) HO = −214 kJ mol−1 I2(s) → I2(g) HO = +38 kJ mol−1 [1] ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… …………
