Question

Diethyl ether, C4H10O(l), a flammable compound that has long been used as a surgical anesthetic, has the structure CH3 - CH2 - O - C H2 - CH3 The complete combustion of 1 mol of C4H10O(l) to CO2(g) and H2O(l) yields Delta H 0 = -2723.7kJ. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of 1 mol of C4H10O(l). Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer. Write a balanced equation for the formation of C4H10O(l) from its elements. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Explanation / Answer

1. C4H10O(l) + 6 O2(g) = 4 CO2(g) + 5 H2O(g)

2. 4 C(s) + (1/2)O2(g) + 5 H2(g) = C4H10O(l)
