Answer: According to the reaction: 2 mol of C2H6 produce 4 mol of CO2 5.70 mol of C2H6 ‒ x moles of CO2 So, number of moles of CO2 produced by combustion of 5.70 mol of ethane equals: Answer: n(CO2) = 11.4 mol.

Hope. This is what your looking for

Answer:

The answer to your question is 6.75 moles of CO₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Balanced reaction

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ ⇒ 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Check that the equation is balanced

Reactant Element Product

3 C 3

8 H 8

10 O 10

This equation is balanced

Use proportions to find the moles of CO₂ produced.

1 mol of C₃H₈ ------------------- 3 moles of CO₂

2.25 moles of C₃H₈ ----------- x

x = (2.25 x 3) / 1

x = 6.75 moles of CO₂
