By the Balanced eqn

60g ethane requires 7x32= 224g oxygen

here ethane is in excess.oxygen will be fully consumed

hence

300g oxygen will consume

60

300

224

=

80.36

g

ethane

leaving (270-80.36)= 189.64 g ethane.

By the Balanced eqn

60g ethane produces 4x44 g CO2

hence amount of CO2 produced =

4

44

80.36

60

=

235.72

g

and its no. of moles will be

235.72

44

=5.36 where 44 is the molar mass of Carbon dioxide

hope this helps
