20 (2410U20-1) 20 10. The crystallisation of sodium ethanoate from a super-saturated solution is used to release heat in reusable hand warmers. (a) A super-saturated solution of sodium ethanoate was made by dissolving 320 g of hydrated sodium ethanoate (CH3COONa.3H2O) in 60 cm3 of hot water. It was then allowed to cool to room temperature, which was measured as 17 °C. A thermometer was added to the solution, which caused the sodium ethanoate to start crystallising. The temperature of the process was recorded every 30 seconds for 3 minutes. The results are shown below: Time / s Temperature / °C 0 17 30 27 60 35 90 41 120 40 150 39 180 38 © WJEC CBAC Ltd.

Assume the density of water is 1.00 g cm–3 and the specific heat capacity of sodium ethanoate solution is 4.18 J K–1 g–1. Mr(CH3COONa.3H2O) = 136 [4] enthalpy change = ........................................................ kJ mol–1 (iv) Suggest a reason why the experimental enthalpy change is often lower than the theoretical enthalpy change.

Complete the following equation: [2] CO2 H2O CH3COONa + + + ......................................................................... ......................................................................... (c) The carboxylic acid used to produce sodium ethanoate can be produced using an oxidation reaction. (i) Name the reagents and give the expected observations. [2] © WJEC CBAC Ltd.

The teacher said that this would not work and would be unsafe. Draw a labelled diagram of the apparatus that should be used in this experiment.
