Question:

The octane number of gasoline is based on a comparison of the gasoline’s behavior with that of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane,C3H18(1), which is arbitrarily assigned an octane number of 100. The standard enthalpy of combustion of this compound is -5456.6 kJ/mol.

(a) Write the thermochemical equation for the combustion of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane.

(b) Use the standard enthalpies of formation in Appendix G to calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane.
