Show how you got the answer

Answer 1

a).

`2 \: moles \: of \: ethane \: react \: with \: 7 \: moles \: of \: oxygen \\ 24 \: moles \: react \: with \: ( (24 * 7)/(2) ) \: moles \\ = 84 \: moles`

b).

`2 \: moles \: react \: with \: 7 \: moles \\ ( (12 * 2)/(7) ) \: moles \: react \: with \: 12 \: moles \\ = 3 .43 \: moles \\ 1 \: mole \: weighs \: 30 \: g \\ 3.43 \: moles \: weigh \: (3.43 * 30) \\ = 102.9 \: g`

c).

746.7 g
