hope it helps
<h3>Balanced equation :
2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that have single bonds in chains
General formula for alkanes :

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (specifically alkanes)

So that the burning of ethane with air (oxygen):

2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (ℓ)
or we can use mathematical equations to solve equilibrium chemical equations by giving the coefficients for each compound involved in the reaction
C₂H₆ (g) + aO₂ (g) ⟶ bCO₂ (g) + cH₂O (ℓ)
C : left 2, right b ⇒ b=2
H: left 6, right 2c⇒ 2c=6⇒ c= 3
O : left 2a, right 2b+c⇒ 2a=2b+c⇒2a=2.2+3⇒2a=7⇒a=7/2
The tubes 1, 5 and 6 is the answer to the question which test tubes were used to determine the optimal ph lipase activity. Lipase is an enzyme and optimum ph the maximum possible point on which enzyme become active.
I know they are fishing and there is an alligator in the lake. The alligator might grab the bait and attack the fishers.
