Solution

The products obtained by heating ethane in:

(a) excess of air: We get carbon dioxide and water -
$2 C_{2} H_{6} + \underset{excess}{7 O_{2}} \to 4 {CO}_{2} + 6 H_{2} O + Heat$

(b) absence of air: Ethene and hydrogen gas are obtained -
${CH}_{3} - {CH}_{3} \overset{Heat}{\to} H_{2} C = {CH}_{2} + H_{2}$

(c) air in presence of copper and 120 atm pressure: We get ethanol -
$2 C_{2} H_{6} + O_{2} \to_{120 atm}^{Cu} 2 C_{2} H_{5} OH$

(d) air with molybdenum oxide at 100 atm pressure: Ethanal (acetaldehyde) is obtained -
$C_{2} H_{6} + O_{2} \to_{100 atm}^{MoO} {CH}_{3} CHO + H_{2} O$
