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
For example we are going to use this unbalanced chemical reaction:
H₂ + O₂ → H₂O.
First, calculate number of atoms (hydrogens and oxygens) on left and right. There is two oxygen and two hydrogen on left and two hydrogen and one oxygen on right.
You can not change molecular formula of compound, only you can put coefficient in fron of compound to balance reaction.
Put 2 in front water to balance oxygen (now you have two oxygens on left and right). But now you have four hydrogens on right, so you must put 2 in fron hydrogen on the left.
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.
Deforestation- there are no more homes for some animals and insects after a forest is cut down.
desertification- when deserts get larger it destroys other ecosystems.
