Question

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. The following chemical equation shows the combustion of ethane. Balance the equation by filling in the coefficients. C2H6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

Answer 1

The combustion generally takes place when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to generate water and carbon dioxide. Or it can be stated that combustion incorporates a reaction between an oxidizer and any combustible substance to produce an oxidized outcome.  

The combustion reactions always include molecular oxygen. The combustion reactions are almost always exothermic, that is, they release heat. In the given question, the balanced equation is:  

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ = 4CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Answer 2

"Balancing a chemical equation makes the number of moles on both, the left and the right side, i.e. the reactant and the product side equal.

The balanced chemical equation of the one given in the question is given below.

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 - >  4 CO2 + 6 H2O
