Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.
Explanation:
Combustion reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water molecule.
If supply of oxygen gas is limited, it is known as incomplete combustion and carbon monoxide gas is also produced as a product.
The chemical equation for this reaction of ethene and oxygen gas follows:
[tex]2C_2H_6+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO+6H_2O[/tex]
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of ethene gas reacts with 5 moles of oxygen gas to produce 4 moles of carbon monoxide gas and 6 moles of water vapor.
Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
