Answer:

2C₂H₆  + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Explanation:

The given reaction is combustion of ethane. Ethane burns in the presence of oxygen and gives carbondioxide and water.

Chemical equation:

C₂H₆  + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Balanced Chemical equation:

2C₂H₆  + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

C₂H₆  + O₂                          →                CO₂ + H₂O

In reactant side                                    in product side

C = 2                                                          C = 1

H = 6                                                          H = 2

O = 2                                                          O = 3

Multiply the reactant side C₂H₆ with 4 and O₂ 7.

2C₂H₆  + 7O₂                          →                CO₂ + H₂O

C = 4

H = 12

O = 14

Now multiply the CO₂ and  H₂O with a coefficient so that C =4, H = 12 and O = 14

2C₂H₆  + 7O₂                          →                4CO₂ + 6H₂O

C = 4                                                            C= 4

H = 12                                                         H= 12

O = 14                                                         O=14

<h3>Answer:</h3>

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The equation for the reaction shown represents the combustion of ethane.

C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

  • To balance the equation we put the coefficients, 2, 7, 4, and 6 on the reactants and products.

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

  • Balancing chemical equations makes the number of atoms of each element equal on both side of the equation.
  • It ensures that chemical equations obey the law of conservation of mass in chemical reactions.

If one of the reactants in a reaction is Na2O, what is known about the products?
const2013 [10]

D. The products will have at least 2 Na atoms and 1 O atom.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

If we refer to the law of mass conservation, which states that

<em>In a closed system, the masses before and after the reaction are the same </em>

then the number of atoms in the reactance will be the same as the number of atoms in the product

In this problem it is known that Na₂O is one of the reactants so that the product of Na atoms and O atoms will at least equal the number of atoms in the bond, namely 2 Na and 1 O

Like an example of this Na₂O reaction:

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH

Na : left =2, right = 2

O : left=2, right = 2
