The correct answer is b) The enthalpy change doubles.
The enthalpy change of a reaction is directly proportional to the amount of substance being reacted. When the mass of sucrose is doubled, the amount of substance being reacted is also doubled. Therefore, the enthalpy change will also double.
M grams of sucrose give enthalpy change of △H kJ/mol on combustion. What is the effect on enthalpy change when the mass of the sucrose is doubled?
a) The enthalpy change remains constant.
b) The enthalpy change doubles.
c) Enthalpy change is reduced to half.
d) △H stays the same
e) Enthalpy becomes zero.

are you correct?
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. The correct answer is a) The enthalpy change remains constant.
The enthalpy change is a property of the substance being reacted (in this case, sucrose) and is independent of the mass of the substance. Therefore, doubling the mass of sucrose will not affect the enthalpy change.
