Answer to Question #186865 in General Chemistry for Antonio Contreras

Question

There is 5 grams of C^2H^6 in a combustion reaction , how many grams of each product is produced

Answer 1

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4(CO₂) + 6H₂O

Moles of C2H6$= \frac{5}{30.07}=0.166mol$

Mass of CO2= 2 × 0.166× 44.01= 14.61grams

Mass of H2O = 3 × 0.166 × 18.02 = 8.97 grams
