You could go to www.ask.com and type in mtbe. Then try clicking on different links that appear. One should contain the information you need. I do know that MTBE does have a high content in gasoline. I do not know the exact number though. I cant believ that they did that-stupid clean air act! It is doing more harm than good!
What else can I help you with?
What is the molecular formula for MTBE?
Methyl tert-butyl ether, also known as methyl tertiary butyl ether and MTBE. In addition, MTBE is a volatile, flammable, and colorless liquid that is sparingly soluble in water.
Is MTBE soluble in water?
Yes, MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) is soluble in water to some extent. However, it is more soluble in organic solvents like gasoline. MTBE is commonly used as an additive in gasoline to increase octane levels.
Is nitrile rubber suitable for MTBE?
Yes, nitrile rubber is suitable for handling MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) due to its good resistance to hydrocarbons and solvents. However, the compatibility can vary based on the specific formulation and concentration of MTBE, so it's essential to check with the manufacturer for specific applications. Overall, nitrile rubber is commonly used in fuel applications, making it a viable choice for MTBE.
What is tert-butyl alcohol used for?
Tert-butyl alcohol is an intermediate in the production of MTBE and ETBE; also is used as a solvent.
What is knocking and anti knocking agents?
The most common agent is Methyl tert-butyl ether, also known as methyl tertiary butyl ether and MTBE; a chemical compound with molecular formula C5H12O. MTBE is a volatile, flammable and colorless liquid that is immiscible with water. MTBE has a minty odour vaguely reminiscent of diethyl ether, leading to unpleasant taste and odour in water. MTBE is a gasoline additive, used as an oxygenate and to raise the octane number, although its use has declined in the United States in response to environmental and health concerns. In the US it has been used in gasoline at low levels since 1979 to replace tetra-ethyl lead to help prevent engine knocking. Oxygen helps gasoline burn more completely, reducing tailpipe emissions from pre-1984 motor vehicles.Other anti-knocking compounds are available as oxygenate additives for gasoline, for example ethanol and related ethers, e.g. tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME). Ethanol has been advertised as a safe alternative by the agricultural interest groups in the USA and Europe. Its lack of toxicity is not different from MTBE, but as a polar solvent, it drives off nonpolar hydrocarbons from the gasoline, a problem that MTBE does not cause.
Why was MTBE banned?
MTBE is an odorless gas that gets into the water supply. It water an odd taste and is flammable.
What is the molecular formula for MTBE?
Methyl tert-butyl ether, also known as methyl tertiary butyl ether and MTBE. In addition, MTBE is a volatile, flammable, and colorless liquid that is sparingly soluble in water.
Is MTBE soluble in water?
Yes, MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) is soluble in water to some extent. However, it is more soluble in organic solvents like gasoline. MTBE is commonly used as an additive in gasoline to increase octane levels.
What is the equation for the combustion of MTBE?
2 C5H120 + 15 02 --> 10 CO2 + 11 H2O + Energy
Is nitrile rubber suitable for MTBE?
Yes, nitrile rubber is suitable for handling MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) due to its good resistance to hydrocarbons and solvents. However, the compatibility can vary based on the specific formulation and concentration of MTBE, so it's essential to check with the manufacturer for specific applications. Overall, nitrile rubber is commonly used in fuel applications, making it a viable choice for MTBE.
Where can you find non-ethanol gasoline in Massachusetts?
You can't. MTBE has been outlawed so all fuel in MA now contains up to 10% ethanol.
What are the release dates for 60 Minutes - 1968 MTBE Ben Zander 32-18?
60 Minutes - 1968 MTBE Ben Zander 32-18 was released on: USA: 16 January 2000
What kinds of health problems can be caused by drinking water contaminated with MTBE?
Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) is fuel additive whose water pollution can result in sickness and poisoning. Health problems from MTBE contaminated water supplies are chiefly dependent on concentration and duration of exposure. MTBE exposure symptoms include but are not limited to irritation of the skin & eye, gastrointestinal tract problems, vomit, nauseousness and head pains. Loss of consciousness and death are also possible given sufficient dosage.
Domed lids are placed over large tanks of MTBE because?
ㄡ..
What is mixed to increase the octane number of gasoline?
The most common additive is MTBE.
What has the author P Gentile written?
P. Gentile has written: 'Economic design of a MTBE plant'
How much butane is in Methyl tertiary butyl ether?
MTBE is composed of 75 percent butane.
