The amount of ethane decreases

increasing the temperature (adding energy), will drive the reaction to the left

<h3>What happens to the amount of ethane (C2H6) when the temperature of the system is increased ?</h3>

C2H4(g) <--> C2H6(g) + 137 kJ

because this reaction is an exothermic reaction and the heat is a product of this reaction, So when the number of temperature increases

so (more heat will be added) so the reaction will go leftward (toward reactants ) so the amount of C2H4 & H2 will increase and the amount of ethane C2H6 will decrease.
