Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation,
C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂<span>O
There are 2 C at left hand side and 1 carbon at right hand side. So, multiply CO</span>₂ by 2 to balance C atoms at both side. So,
C₂H₆ + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + H₂O
Now, count number of H atoms at both sides. There are 6 H atoms at left hand side and 2 at right hand side. Multiply H₂O by 3 to balance H atoms.
C₂H₆ + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O
At last, balance O atoms. There are 2 O atoms at left hand side and 3 O atoms at right hand side. Multiply O₂ with 1.5 (i.e. 3/2) to balance O atoms. i.e.
C₂H₆ + 3/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O
Hence, the equation is balanced. If you want to make equation fraction free then multiply all equation with 2. i.e.
( C₂H₆ + 3/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O ) × 2
2 C₂H₆ + 3 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
(B), because 1.0 moles would be 6.02 x 10^23 molecules. So you have half a mole.<span>

One of the many awe-inspiring things about algae, Professor Greene explains, is that they can grow between ten and 100 times faster than land plants. In view of this speedy growth rate – combined with the fact they can thrive virtually anywhere in the right conditions – growing marine microalgae could provide a variety of solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems.
Take, global warming. Algae sequesters CO2, as we have learned, but owing to the fact they grow faster than land plants, can cover wider areas and can be utilised in bioreactors, they can actually absorb CO2 more effectively than land plants. AI company Hypergiant Industries, for instance, say their algae bioreactor was 400 times more efficient at taking in CO2 than trees.
And it’s not just their nutritional credentials which could solve humanity’s looming food crisis, but how they are produced. Marine microalgae grow in seawater, which means they do not rely on arable land or freshwater, both of which are in limited supply. Professor Greene believes the use of these organisms could therefore release almost three million km2 of cropland for reforestation, and also conserve one fifth of global freshwater
