1. This question has 4 part(s).
1.1. This question is about 2-methylpropan-2-ol.
Draw the fully displayed formula of 2-methylpropan-2-ol.
1.2. The mass spectrum of 2-methylpropan-2-ol is shown.

i) The relative molecular mass of 2-methylpropan-2-ol is 74. Give a possible reason why there is no molecular ion peak in the mass spectrum of 2-methylpropan-2-ol.
(1)
ii) Write the formula for a species that could be responsible for the peak at m / z = 59.

Bond | Mean bond enthalpy / kJ mol−1 |
C–C | 347 |
C–H | 413 |
C–O | 358 |
O–H | 464 |
O=O | 498 |
C=O | 805 |
ii) 2-methylpropan-2-ol burns in air with a smoky flame. Explain how burning with a smoky flame affects the value of the experimentally determined enthalpy change of combustion.
