Answer:

22.715 moles of oxygen are used

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of ethane = 6.49 mol

Number of moles of O₂ required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂       →     4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with ethane.

                    C₂H₆           :           O₂  

                       2              :             7

                     6.49           :           7/2×6.49 = 22.715 mol

Thus, 22.715 moles of oxygen are used.
