Question

The combustion of ethane ( C 2 H 6 ) produces carbon dioxide and steam. 2 C 2 H 6 ( g ) + 7 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 4 CO 2 ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( g ) How many moles of CO 2 are produced when 5.85 mol of ethane is burned in an excess of oxygen?

Answer 1

Twice as much... => 11.9 mole CO₂

Step-by-step explanation:

From balanced equation ...

2 moles C₂H₆ => 4 moles CO₂ then

5.95 moles C₂H₆ => 2(5.95) moles CO₂ = 11.9 mole CO₂
