Question

How many grams of C2H6 are needed to react with 54 grams of O2?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

in a combustion of ethane 2 moles of ethane react with 7 moles of O2

now no of moles in 54 gram of O2=mass/ molar mass

moles =54/32=1.7 moles

if 7 moles of O2 required 2 moles of ethane then 1.7 mole required=?

7 moles of O2=2 moles of C2H6

1.7 moles of O2=1.7*2/7=0.5 moles of C2H6

0.5 moles of C2H6 contain how much grams=?

mass= moles*molar mass=0.5*30=15
