- The heat of combustion of 2-methylheptane, C8H18, is 5464 kJ/mol. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 399 grams of 2-methylheptane ? a) 19,100 kJ b) 21,800 kJ c) 16,200 kJ d) 20,100 kJarrow_forwardWrite the balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of ethane. Reactants Products C2H6 (g) + → Formulate (skeletal formula) the main products for the oxidation and dehydration reactions of the following compound: Reactant Oxidation product Dehydration products | OH CH3―CH2―CH―CH2―CH3arrow_forward3 Ethers (general formula R—O—R,) have many important uses. Until recently, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE, below) was used as an octane booster and fuel additive for gasoline. It increases the oxygen content of the fuel, which reduces CO emissions. MTBE is synthesized by the catalyzed reaction of 2-methylpropene with methanol.(a) Write a balanced equation for the synthesis of MTBE. (Hint: Alcohols add to alkenes similarly to the way water does.)arrow_forward

(All gas phase) (b) What is the standard entropy change for the reaction? (c) What is the standard free energy change for the reaction carried out at 400 K? (You cannot use ∆Gfo data from the appendix). (d) Is the reaction spontaneous?
