Question

Write a balanced chemical for Burning of ethane in plentiful supply of air

Answer 1

• A chemical equation of a compound consists of chemical formulas of the reactant and the chemical formula of the product.
• When Ethane $\left({\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_6\right)$ is heated in the air, we get Carbon dioxide $\left(C{O}_2\right)$ and Water $\left(H_{2}O\right)$ as the products.
• The chemical reaction is as follows.

$2\underset{\mathrm{Ethane}}{{\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_6\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+7\underset{\mathrm{Air}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}}{4{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+6\underset{\mathrm{Water}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}$.
