Question

How many water molecules (H2O) are needed to react with 8 ethane (C2H4) molecules to produce ethanol molecules (C2H5OH)?

Answer 1

C2H4 + H2O = C2H5OH
As we can see, one ethane molecule reacts with one water molecules. So we need 8 water molecules (H2O) to react with 8 ethene (C2H4) molecules.
