The combustion of ethane results in the balanced equation 2C2H6 + 7O2 -> 4CO2 + H2O + energy because we see that after the combustion, the reactants have 8 + 6 = 14 Oxygen atoms in total (8 from 4CO2, 6 from 6H2O). Therefore, since there are 2 atoms of Oxygen in oxygen gas, we have 7O2 molecules in the beginning to hold the ratio true.

To balance an equation, we need to make sure the amount of atoms on the reactants and the products. 

How much oxygen's are on the reactants side? 

Lets count, 4*2 = 8  and 6, so 8+6 = 14

Now, start to predict the number. 

14/2 = 7

Answer: 7 is the correct answer

A laptop can convert 400J of electrical energy into a 240J of light and sound. What is the efficiency? Where does the rest of th
Blababa [14]
Efficiency = (Wanted) energy out ÷ energy in × 100

Energy in = 400J
Wanted Energy out = 240J

Energy cannot be used up, only transferred, so the remaining energy is most likely to be transferred into unwanted energy (loss of energy) such as heat energy.

Efficiency = 240 ÷ 400 × 100
Efficiency = 0.6 × 100
Efficiency = 60%
