If 2 moles of CO2 are created how many moles of C2H6 reacted?
2 C2H6
+ 702
4CO2 + 6H2O
3.5 mol C2H6
1 mol C2H6
4 mol C2H6
8 mol C2H6

Answer 1

1 mole of C2H6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

We can determine the number of mole of C2H6 that reacted to produce 2 moles of CO2 as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C2H6 reacted to produce 4 moles of CO2.

Therefore, Xmol of C2H6 will react to produce 2 moles of CO2 i.e

Xmol of CO2 = (2 x 2)/4

Xmol of CO2 = 1 mole.

Therefore, 1 mole of C2H6 is required to produce 2 moles of CO2.
