g. o2(
g. co2(
g. h2o(l)
c.c2h6 (
g. o2(
g. co(
g. h2o(l)
d.c2h6 (
g. co2(

Answer:

The correct answer option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

When ethane reacts with oxygen it gives water and carbon-dioxide gas.This type of chemical reaction is called Combustion reaction.


C_2H_6(g)+(7)/(2)O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+3H_2O(l)

Since, in all the options equation is unbalanced.So , the correct answer is option b.

Ethane reacts with oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and liquid water. I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The correct equation for this reaction would be as follows:

c2h6 (g) + o2(g) = co2(g) + h2o(l)

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
