Chapter 9, Problem 150

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 tertbutyl 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. (d) The enthalpy of combustion for methyl tert-butyl ether is ΔH° combustion = -3368.7 kJ>mol. What is its standard enthalpy of enthalpy of formation, ΔH°f?
