Question

What volume (in L) of carbon dioxide will be produced from the reaction of 11.8L of ethane

Answer 1

23.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Volume (in L) of Carbon dioxide : 23.6 L

Further explanation

Avogadro's hypothesis:

In the same T,P and V, the gas contains the same number of molecules

So the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles

`\tt (V_1)/(n_1)=(V_2)/(n_2)`

Combustion of ethane :

`\tt 2C_2H_6+7O_2\Rightarrow 4CO_2+6H_2O`

mol ratio of C₂H₆ : CO₂ ⇒ 2 : 4

so the volume of CO₂ :

`\tt (V_1)/(n_1)=(V_2)/(n_2)\\\\(11.8)/(2)=(V_2)/(4)\\\\V_2=\boxed{\bold{23.6~L}}`
