MTBE, Methyl tert-butyl ether, CH3OC(CH3)3, is used as an oxygen source in oxygenated gasolines. MTBE is manufactured by reacting 2-methylpropene with methanol.
(a) Using Lewis structures, write the chemical equation representing the reaction.
(b) What volume of methanol, density 0.7915 g/mL, is required to produce exactly 1000 kg of MTBE, assuming a 100% yield?
What mass of 2-bromopropane could be prepared from 25.5 g of propene? Assume a 100% yield of product.
Write two complete balanced equations for each of the following reactions, one using condensed formulas and one using Lewis structures.
(a) propanol is converted to dipropyl ether
(b) propene is treated with water in dilute acid.
Explain why these two molecules are not isomers:
