Which volume of ethane gas, in cm3 , will produce 40cm3 of carbon dioxide gas when mixed with 140cm3 of oxygen gas, assuming the reaction goes to completion

Respuesta :

The volume of ethane gas, C₂H₆ in cm³ that will react to produce 40 cm³ of CO₂ is 20 cm³

Balanced equation

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ —> 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

4 cm³ of CO₂ were obtained from 2 cm³ of C₂H₆

How to determine the volume of C₂H₆ needed

From the balanced equation above,

4 cm³ of CO₂ were obtained from 2 cm³ of C₂H₆

Therefore,

40 cm³ of CO₂ will be obtain from = (40 × 2) / 4 = 20 cm³ of C₂H₆

Thus, 20 cm³ of C₂H₆ are required for the reaction.
