32.6 grams divided by the molar mass of C2H6, which is 18.0584g/mol = 1.8 moles of C2H6.
As there are two carbon atoms per C2H6, we must multiply the number of moles of C2H6 by 2 to get the number of moles of Carbon which is 3.6 moles.
The answer is 3.6 moles.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
<em>What quantity dictates the speed of a reaction?</em> The activation energy
Explanation:
According to the collision theory, when molecules collide, they must overcome an energy barrier for the reaction to take place. This energy, known as activation energy, is represented by the difference in energy between the initial state and the transition state. The higher the activation energy, the slower the reaction. That's why catalysts reduce the activation energy to accelerate the reaction.
