Gasoline
I thought I had the answer but I was wrong. Please show how to solve.
Calculate the mass percent of methanol, ethanol, and MTBE each that must be present in gasoline to yield a mixture of 2.9 % oxygen by weight. Hint given: Calculate percent oxygen in each compound.
I don't have the density of the gasoline in the question or in the textbook. However, all I can find relevant in the textbook is that the octane number of Methanol is 116, ethanol is 112, and MTBE is 116 and that gasoline produced simply by distillation of crude oil has an octane number of about 50.
