Write the equation for the complete combustion of ethane.

Open in App

Solution

Combustion:
Combustion is an exothermic reaction between the fuel and the oxidant.
Usually, the substances react with air oxygen and release energy.
Chemical Reaction:
When ethane reacts with oxygen, it forms carbon dioxide gas and water as a product with some amount of heat.
The reaction evolves some amount of heat also.
$2 C_{2} H_{6} (g) + 7 O_{2} (g) \to 4 {CO}_{2} (g) + 6 H_{2} O (l)$
