Question
2-methylbutane and 2,2-dimethyIpropane are isomeric hydrocarbons with the molecular formula C5H12 a)In an experiment to find the standard enthalpy of combustion (AH.") of both compounds, the temperature of 200 g of water was raised by 30 °C. The mass of 2-methylbutane burned was found to be 0.626 g and the volume of 2,2-dimethylpropane burned was 171 cm'. i)Calculate (in kJ) the heat given out by the 2-methylbutane in the experiment. ii)Use the data to calculate the standard enthalpy of combustion of 2-methylbutane and give your answer to 3 significant figures. iii)Calculate the standard enthalpy of combustion of 2,2-dimethyIpropane. b)Construct a Hess's cycle to find the standard enthalpy change of reaction for the conversion of 2-methylbutane to 2,2-dimethyIpropane. Use the two values for the standard enthalpies of combustion to calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction: 2-methylbutane -> 2,2-dimethylpropane
