Question
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(g) + 3 H₂(g) CH₂OH(1) + H₂O(1)
In the second step, methanol reacts to form dimethyl ether and water:
2 CH₂OH(1)→ CH₂OCH3(g) + H₂O(1)
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.
