Final answer:

The question seems to mix concepts, but to follow the learning objectives: alkanes are named by identifying the longest carbon chain; for the formula C2H6O, the isomers are ethanol and dimethyl ether; and MTBE is formed by reacting 2-methylpropene with methanol.

Step-by-step explanation:

It appears there might be some confusion in the question posed, as it refers to different chemicals, and ozonolysis typically involves alkenes, not alkanes. However, to address the learning objectives and give you a helpful response, let's focus on some of the concepts mentioned.



Naming Alkanes

To name alkanes using the IUPAC system, you identify the longest carbon chain as the base name and number the chain to give the substituents the lowest possible numbers. Substituents like methyl groups are named as prefixes to the base name.



Structures with Formula C2H6O

The two isomers with formula C2H6O are ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3). Ethanol has a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group while dimethyl ether has an ether (C-O-C) group.



Reaction to Form MTBE

The reaction to form MTBE involves the acid-catalyzed reaction between 2-methylpropene and methanol. The Lewis structures would show the formation of a bond between the oxygen of methanol and the carbon atom of 2-methylpropene.
