- What are the products formed when the hydrocarbon pentane (C5H12) undergoes complete combustion?arrow_forwardWrite the balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of ethane. Reactants Products C2H6 (g) + → Formulate (skeletal formula) the main products for the oxidation and dehydration reactions of the following compound: Reactant Oxidation product Dehydration products | OH CH3―CH2―CH―CH2―CH3arrow_forward3 Ethers (general formula R—O—R,) have many important uses. Until recently, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE, below) was used as an octane booster and fuel additive for gasoline. It increases the oxygen content of the fuel, which reduces CO emissions. MTBE is synthesized by the catalyzed reaction of 2-methylpropene with methanol.(a) Write a balanced equation for the synthesis of MTBE. (Hint: Alcohols add to alkenes similarly to the way water does.)arrow_forward
