Question

6. Consider the reaction: CzHo (g) + 02 (8) - 4 CO2(g) + 6H2O (1)

(a) Balance the equation.
(b) How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 10 moles of ethane for a complete
combustion reaction?

Answer 1

1120 gm

Step-by-step explanation:

6. Consider the reaction: CzHo (g) + 02 (8) - 4 CO2(g) + 6H2O (1)

(a) Balance the equation.

(b) How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 10 moles of ethane for a complete

combustion reaction?

FIRST, CORRECT THE EQUATION THEN BALANCE

2C2H6(G) + 7O2------------> 4CO2 + 6H2O

so for 10 moles of ethane, we need

7 X 5 = 35 MOLES O2

=35 MOLES O2

O2 HAS A MOLAR MASS OF 2X16 = 32 gm

35 MOLES OF O2 HAS A MASS OF 35 X 32 =1120 gm
