Answer all questions in this section.
(^0 1) The structure of 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid is shown.
(^0 1). 1 Give the equation for the reaction of 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid with methanol.
In your equation, include the skeletal formula of the organic product. [ 2 marks]
Aspirin is produced from 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid by reaction with ethanoic anhydride in the presence of concentrated phosphoric acid.
Method
(^0 1). 2 Aspirin can also be produced by reacting 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid with ethanoyl chloride.
State why ethanoic anhydride is preferred to ethanoyl chloride for this preparation. [1 mark]
Do not write outside the 0 1. (^7) Suggest the identity of two impurities present in the filtered solid aspirin before it is^ box washed in Step 6 of the method. [ 2 marks]
Impurity 1
Impurity 2

Do not write outside the 0 2. (^2) 20 g of large marble chips is a large excess of calcium carbonate.^ box
Suggest why using a large excess of calcium carbonate means that the rate is only affected by the changing concentration of the hydrochloric acid. [ 1 mark]
(^0 2). 3 The mass of carbon dioxide produced in time t is equal to m t.
The total mass of CO 2 produced during the reaction is equal to m total.
Explain why ( m total – m t) is proportional to the concentration of hydrochloric acid remaining in the flask at time t. [ 2 marks]
Question 2 continues on the next page
Do not write outside the 0 2. (^4) Table 1 shows the rate of reaction, calculated from the gradient of the curve, at^ box five different times.
( m total – m t) is proportional to the concentration of unreacted HCl at time t.

Rate of reaction / g s–1^ 23.0 × 10
( m total – m t) / g 0.340^ 0.280^ 0.225^ 0.170^ 0.
On the grid in Figure 2 plot the rate of reaction ( y -axis) against ( m total – m t) ( x -axis). [3 marks]

Do not write outside the 0 3 The thermal decomposition of but- 3 - en- 1 - ol is investigated at different^ box temperatures ( T ).
CH 2 =CHCH 2 CH 2 OH → CH 2 =CHCH 3 + HCHO
The results from the investigation are used to calculate the rate constant, k , at each temperature.
Table 2 shows some of the results.

(^0 3). 1 Complete Table 2 with the missing values at 573 K [1 mark]
(^0 3). 2 The overall order of the reaction can be deduced from a piece of information in one of the column headings in Table 2.
Identify this piece of information and deduce the overall order. [ 2 marks]

(^0 4). 1 Propanoic acid is a weak acid.
State the meaning of weak in this context. [ 1 mark]
(^0 4). 2 Suggest why a student doing an experiment to produce the curve in Figure 4 would add the sodium hydroxide solution dropwise around the equivalence point. [ 1 mark]
Do not write outside the 0 4. (^5) When sodium hydroxide solution is added to aqueous propanoic acid, the solution^ box formed acts as a buffer when between 5 cm 3 and 15 cm 3 have been added.
Explain why the pH stays approximately constant during this part of the experiment. [ 2 marks]
