Diethyl ether, C4H10O(l), a flammable compound that has long been used as a surgical
Chapter 15, Problem 5.78(choose chapter or problem)
Diethyl ether, \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}(l)\), a flammable compound that has long been used as a surgical anesthetic, has the structure
\(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_3\)
The complete combustion of \(1 \mathrm{~mol}\) of \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}(l)\) to \(\mathrm{CO}_2(g)\) and \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l)\) yields \(\Delta H^{\circ}=-2723.7 \mathrm{~kJ}\).
(a) Write a balanced equation for the combustion of \(1 \mathrm{~mol}\) of \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}(l)\).
(b) Write a balanced equation for the formation of \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}(l)\) from its elements.
(c) By using the information in this problem and data in Table 5.3, calculate \(\Delta H_f^{\circ}\) for diethyl ether.
