What are the resulting coefficients when you balance the chemical equation for the combustion of ethane, C2H6 ?In this reaction, ethane is burned in the presence of oxygen (O2 ) to form carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and water (H2O ).____C2H6(g)+____O2(g)→____CO2(g)+____H2O(g)Recall that the coefficients of the final balanced equation should be whole numbers. Thus, you might need to multiply through the equation by a factor of two to obtain whole numbers in your last step.If you have trouble balancing the equation below, use the first hint to view a video of a similar equation being balanced. Then, use the rest of the hints to help you balance the equation, step-by-step.Express the coefficients as integers separated by commas.

2 C2H6(g) + 10O2 >4 CO2(g) + 6 H20

whixh equals

C4 H12 +O20 > C4O8(g) + H12O12

C4=C4

H12=H12

O20=O20

balanced
