Answer:
0.665 moles of CO₂
Explanation:
The balance chemical equation for the combustion of Ethane is as follow:
2 C₂H₆ + 7 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
Step 1: Calculate moles of C₂H₆ as;
Moles = Mass / M.Mass
Putting values,
Moles = 10.0 g / 30.07 g/mol
Moles = 0.3325 moles
Step 2: Calculate Moles of CO₂ as;
According to balance chemical equation,
2 moles of C₂H₆ produced = 4 moles of CO₂
So,
0.3325 moles of C₂H₆ will produce = X moles of CO₂
Solving for X,
X = 0.3325 mol × 4 mol ÷ 2 mol
X = 0.665 moles of CO₂
