Question

Ethane, C2H6, burns in air according to the equation

2 C2H6(g) + 7 O2(g) 4 CO2(s) + 6 H2O(g)
How many liters of O2 are required for complete reaction with 4.0 L of C2H6?

Answer 1

Explanation: The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of ethane (C2H6) is:

2 C2H6(g) + 7 O2(g) → 4 CO2(s) + 6 H2O(g)

According to the equation, 7 liters of O2 are required for a complete reaction with 4.0 L of C2H61.
