Answer:

1. 2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

2. 56moles of O2

Explanation:

Ethane undergo Combustion to produce CO2 and H20 according the equation below:

C2H6 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O

Let us balance the equation. There are 6 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balanced by putting 3 in front of H2O as shown below:

C2H6 + O2 —> CO2 + 3H2O

There are 2 atoms of C on left and 1atom on the right. It can be balanced by putting 2 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C2H6 + O2 —> 2CO2 + 3H2O

There are a total of 7 atoms of O on the right and 2 atoms on the left. It can be balanced by putting 7/2 in front of O2 as shown below:

C2H6 + 7/2O2 —> 2CO2 + 3H2O

Now we multiply through by 2 to remove the fraction as shown below

2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

Now the equation is balanced

2. 2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

From the equation above,

2 moles of ethane(C2H6) combined with 7moles of O2.

Therefore, 16moles of ethane(C2H6) will combine with = (16x7)/2 = 56moles of O2

Calculate the. number of moles of Cu. in 8.0×1021 atoms of Cu​
drek231 [11]

Answer:

8.0 × 10²¹ atoms contain 1.33 × 10⁻² moles.

Explanation:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

Given data:

Number of atoms = 8.0 × 10²¹ atoms

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

One mole of Cu = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

For 8.0 × 10²¹ atoms:

(1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms)×8.0 × 10²¹ atoms

1.33 × 10⁻² moles

So, 8.0 × 10²¹ atoms contain 1.33 × 10⁻² moles.
