Chapter 9, Problem 9.133MP
Combustion analysis of 0.1500 g of methyl tert-butyl ether, an octane booster used in gasoline, gave 0.3744 g of CO2 and 0.1838 g of H2O. When a flask having a volume of 1.00 L was evacuated and then filled with methyl tert-butyl ether vapor at a pressure of 100.0 kPa and a temperature of 54.8 °C, the mass of the flask increased by 3.233 g.
(a) What is the empirical formula of methyl tert-butyl ether?
(b) What is the molecular weight and molecular formula of methyl tert-butyl ether?
(c) Write a balanced equation for the combustion reaction.
(d) The enthalpy of combustion for methyl tert-butyl ether is ΔH°combustion = −3368.7 kJ/mol. What is its standard enthalpy of formation, ΔH°f ?
