11.1 moles of CO2 are produced when 5.55 moles of ethane is burned in excess of oxygen
What is combustion reaction?
Burning, also known as combustion, is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical process that occurs when an oxidant, typically atmospheric oxygen, reacts with a fuel (the reductant) to generate oxidized, frequently gaseous products in a mixture known as smoke. Fire does not always arise from combustion because a flame can only be seen when the chemicals being burned evaporate, but when it does, the flame serves as a distinctive indicator of the reaction.
The balanced equation for combustion of ethane is
2C2H6(g)+7O2(g)⟶4CO2(g)+6H2O(g)
According to this reaction it is understood that,
2 moles of carbon ethane produces 4 moles of CO2
So, 5.55 moles of ethane produces x moles of CO2
x= (5.55* 4) / 2= 11.1 moles
Hence, 11.1 moles of CO2 are produced when 5.55 moles of ethane is burned in excess of oxygen.
