Question

this is the chemical formula for methyl tert-butyl ether (the clean-fuel gasoline additive mtbe):a chemical engineer has determined by measurements that there are moles of carbon in a sample of methyl tert-butyl ether. how many moles of oxygen are in the sample?be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits

Answer 1

The Number of moles required for MTBE is 2 as per molarity based chemistry theories.

1. A flammable liquid with a distinct, unpleasant smell is called methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE).
2. Since the 1980s, it has been added to unleaded gasoline as a fuel additive to promote more effective burning.
3. It is created by mixing chemicals like isobutylene and methanol. Gallstones can be removed with MTBE as well.
4. In this type of treatment, surgically inserted special tubes are used to deliver MTBE directly to the gall bladders of the patients.
5. Methyl tert-butyl ether is a colorless liquid with a distinct anesthetic-like smell. Vapors are narcotic and heavier than air. 131 °F boiling point. 18 °F is the flash point.
6. It is miscible in water and less dense than water. Boosts the octane of gasoline.
7. Therefore it has 2 moles of oxygen.
