Dimethyl ether, a useful organic solvent, is prepared in two steps. In the first step, carbon dioxide and hydrogen react to form methanol and water CO2(9) + 3 H2(9) CH,OH(1) + H,O(1) AH=-131. kJ In the second step, methanol reacts to form dimethyl ether and water: 2 CH3ОН() CH,OCH 3(9) + H20(1) AH=8. kJ Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of dimethyl ether from carbon dioxide and hydrogen from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest kJ.
