How many miles of CO2 are produced when 5.35 mol of ethane is burned in a excess of oxygen?

Answer 1

How many moles of CO2 are produced when 5.35 mol of ethane is burned in a excess of oxygen?

$C_2H_5OH + 3O_2 \to 2CO_2 + 3H_2O$

$5.35 moles \space \frac {2 moles of CO_2}{1moles \space C_2H_5OH} = 10.7 moles \space of \space CO_2$
