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 ?

Generate a molecular orbital diagram but this time using a different approach that draws on your knowledge and ability to put concepts together. First use VSEPR or some other method to make sure you know the ground state structure of the molecule. Next, generate an MO diagram for BH2. Sketch the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs of the BH2 fragment. These are called frontier orbitals. Now use these frontier orbitals as your basis set for producing LGO's for B2H6. Since the BH2 frontier orbitals become the LGOS, you will have to think about what is in the middle of the molecule and treat its basis as well. Do you arrive at the same qualitative MO diagram as is discussed in the book?
