Question

the mass of ethane required to produce 17.6 gram of CO2

Answer 1

${\huge{\underline{\large{\mathbb{\green{VERIFIED \: ANSWER}}}}}}$

Reaction for the combustion of the Ethane is ⇒

___________________________

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ ----------→ 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

___________________________

From this reaction,

∵ 4 mole of the Carbon dioxide is prepared by the 2 mole of the Ethane.

∴ 1 mole of the Carbon dioxide is prepared by the 0.5 mole of the Ethane.

∵ 1 mole of the Carbon dioxide = 44 g.

∴ Moles of the Ethane required for the combustion is 0.5 moles.

Hope it helps
