In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).
When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).
A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.
Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable

Answer:
1 mole of C2H6.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O
We can determine the number of mole of C2H6 that reacted to produce 2 moles of CO2 as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of C2H6 reacted to produce 4 moles of CO2.
Therefore, Xmol of C2H6 will react to produce 2 moles of CO2 i.e
Xmol of CO2 = (2 x 2)/4
Xmol of CO2 = 1 mole.
Therefore, 1 mole of C2H6 is required to produce 2 moles of CO2.
