Gasoline is composed primarily of hydrocarbons, including many with eight carbon atoms
Chapter 5, Problem 5.75(choose chapter or problem)
Gasoline is composed primarily of hydrocarbons, including many with eight carbon atoms, called octanes. One of the cleanest-burning octanes is a compound called 2,3,4-trirnethylpentane, which has the following structural formula: CH3 CH3 CH3 I I I H3C-CH-CH-CH -CH3 The complete combustion of one mole of this compound to C02(g) and H20(g) leads to !lH0 = -5064.9 kJ/mol. (a) Write a balanced equation for the combustion of 1 mol of CsH!s(l). (b) Write a balanced equation for the formation of C8H18(1) from its elements. (c) By using the information in this problem and data in Table 5.3, calculate llHJ for 2,3,4-trimethylpentane.
