When ethane react with oxygen how do i balance the equation
Accepted Answer
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of ethane (C2H6) with oxygen (O2) is:
2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O
This equation represents the complete combustion of ethane, producing carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as products. To balance the equation, you need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. In this case, we need 2 molecules of ethane to react with 7 molecules of oxygen to produce 4 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water.
