How many moles of ethane (C2H6) would be needed to react with 62.3 grams of oxygen gas?

Chemistry

Note that it says oxygen "gas"
So you need the atomic mass of oxygen gas

Look at your periodic table, you'll see 15.9994 under oxygen
Oxygen gas has a formula of O2 therefore,
(15.9994) times 2= Oxygen gas atomic mass=31.9988

Mol= Mass/Atomic Mass
=62.3 g/ 31.9988 g/mol = 1.95 mol

now look at the ratio of C2H6 and O2, notice there is an invisible number beside each of them, at that "invisible number" is =1

1 C2H6 + 1 O2 -> products

this means that for 1 mol of C2H6, 1 mol of O2 has to react with it

Thus as we have 1.95 moles of O2, we need 1.95 moles of C2H6

rosijanka [135]
(2) 2 - 7 - 18 - 7 does, because the electron from the L shell jumped to the N shell, which requires energy.

The rest of them are either different types of atoms (different elements) or are not the excited state (ground state)
