2 1 (a) Graphite is a naturally-occurring form of crystalline carbon and is found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. Graphite is extremely soft and cleaves with very light pressure yet it is extremely resistant to heat and nearly inert in contact with almost any other material. These extreme properties give it a wide range of uses in metallurgy and manufacturing. (i) With reference to the structure, account for the following properties of graphite. Soft Heat resistant and inert [3] (ii) The following table shows some thermochemistry data. Reaction H / kJ mol-1 Standard enthalpy change of atomisation of carbon +715 Enthalpy change of 4H(g) + O(g) + C(g) → CH3OH(l) -2069 With the use of relevant data from the Data Booklet and the above information, calculate the enthalpy change of formation of methanol. [3] (b) A butane burner is used to heat the air in a hot air balloon. The hot air balloon has a volume of 2.1 m3 and its volume does not change when the enclosed air is heated. (i) Using the ideal gas equation, calculate the amount of gas molecules the bal loon contains at temperature 800 K and a pressure of 1.0 x106 Pa. [1] (ii) Hence calculate the mass of air it contains, assuming an average relative molecular mass of 29. [1] (iii) The standard enthalpy change of combustion of butane is -2877.5 kJ mol-1. It requires 1.0 J of energy to raise the temperature of 1.0 g of air by 1.0 K. Using your answer in (b)(ii), calculate the mass of butane that needs to be burnt to raise the temperature
