<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 :

\tt \large{\bold{C_nH_{2n+2}}

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (specifically alkanes)

\large {\box {\bold{C_nH _ (_2_n _ + _ 2_) + \dfrac {3n + 1} {2} O_2 \Rightarrow nCO_2 + (n + 1) H_2O}}}

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

\tt C_2H_6+\dfrac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

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

How many moles are there in 3.612 x 1024 formula units of Na2SO4?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

<h3>Theanswer is 6 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L}  \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{3.612 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you
