In the equation $2C_2H_6 + 7O_2 -> 4CO_2 + 6H_2O$, if 15 g of $C_2H_6$ react with 45 g of $O_2$, how many grams of water will be produced?

Call

$"Moles of dioxygen"$ $=$ $(45*g)/(32.00*g*mol^-1)=1.41*mol$.

Clearly, there is insufficient dioxygen for complete combustion; i.e. complete combustion requires $1.75*mol$ $O_2$. We ASSUME incomplete combustion, i.e.

$"COMPLETE COMBUSTION GIVES...."$

$C_2H_6(g) + 7/2O_2(g) rarr 2CO_2(g) + 3H_2O(l)$

$"INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION GIVES...."$

$C_2H_6(g)+3O_2(g)rarrCO_2(g) + CO(g)+3H_2O(l)$

$"OR.........."$

$C_2H_6(g)+2O_2(g)rarrC(s)+ CO(g)+3H_2O(l)$

(What would we obtain? This would be the subject of experiment. Certainly incomplete combustion occurs in the internal combustion engine, and in diesels.) In each case, however, combustion of ethane, complete, or incomplete, gives rise to...........

$"THREE EQUIV of WATER PER EQUIV ETHANE."$

And thus if there are $0.5*mol$ ethane reactant, there will be $1.5*mol$ water product.........a mass of $27*g$.

Good question, which I am stealing for my A2 class.

The following reaction is an example what type of reaction? $2C_2H_6(g) + 7O_2(g) + 4CO_2(g) + 6H_2O(g)$

$C_2H_6 + 7/2O_2(g) rarr 2CO_2 +3H_2O(l)+Delta$ The carbon of ethane $(C,-III)$, undergoes formal 7 electron oxidation to give fully oxidized $CO_2$. What is reduced in the reaction? How does...

The reaction between $H_2$ and $O_2$ produces 13.1 g of water. How many grams of $O_2$ reacted? $2H_2(g) + O_2(g) -> 2H_2O(g)$?

There are $(13.1*g)/(18.01*g*mol^-1)=0.727*mol$ of water product. $H_2(g) + 1/2O_2(g) rarr H_2O(l)$ Given the of the reaction, there were necessarily $0.727*mol$ dihydrogen reactant, and $(0.727*mol)/2$ dioxygen reactant. I speak of dihydrogen,...

Given the incomplete equation for the combustion of ethane, $2C_2H_6 + 7O_2 -> 4CO_2 + 6__$, what is the formula of the missing product?

In general any organic compound, when burned will generate an "oxide" of its atoms. Carbon goes to $CO$ or $CO_2$ (the latter, if complete) Hydrogen goes to $H_2O$ Nitrogen and...

If 5.49 mol of ethane ($C_2H_6$) undergoes combustion according to the unbalanced equation $C_2H_6+O_2->CO_2+H_2O$, how much oxygen is required?

The balanced equation of the combustion of ethane is: $2C_2H_6+7O_2->4CO_2+6H_2O$ Then number of mole of oxygen that will be needed to completely react with $5.49mol$ of ethane could be calculated...

$2CO(g) + O_2(g) -> 2CO_2(g)$. How many liters of $O_2$ will react with 74.2 liters of CO? If 6.5 g of CO react, how many liters of $CO_2$ are produced?

We calculate the relative quantities from the molar ratios in the balanced reaction equation. $2CO(g)+O_2(g)→2CO_2(g)$. As a pretty good approximation, gas volumes are proportional to molar amounts. Therefore with...

If 15 g of $C_2H_6$ react with 45 g of $O_2$, how many grams of water will be produced?

Let's write the chemical equation for this combustion reaction: $C_2H_6"(g)" + 7/2O_2"(g)" rarr 2CO_2"(g)" + 3H_2O"(g)"$ Since we're given the amounts of more than one reactant, we must determine which...

$Mg$ and $O_2$ react in a 2.1 molar ratio. 2 moles $M_g$ = 1 mole $O_2$. If a reaction used 32.5 g of $O_2$, how many g of $Mg$ reacted?

Step 1. Calculate the moles of $"O"_2$. $32.5 cancel("g O"_2) × ("1 mol O"2)/(32.00 cancel("g O"2)) = "1.016 mol O"_2$ Step 2. Use the molar ratio to calculate the...

For the balanced equation $2C_2H_5OH + 6O_2 -> 4CO_2 + 6H_2O$, how many moles of $O_2$ will react with 0.3020 moles of $CO_2$?

$O_2$ is a reagent and $CO_2$ is a product, therefore they won't react with each other.

Using the following equation, $2C_2H_6 + 7O_2 -> 4CO_2 + 6H_2O$, if 2.5 g $C_2H_6$ react with 170 g $O_2$, what is the limiting reactant?

You have the stoichiometric equation, which tells you, unequivocally, that 2 equiv ethane reacts with 7 equiv dioxygen gas (alternatively 1 equiv ethane reacts with 3.5 equiv $O_2$). $"Moles...

Given the equation $C_2H_6(g) + O_2(g) -> CO_2 (g) + H_2O(g)$ (not balanced), what is the number of liters of $CO_2$ formed at STP when 240.0 grams of $C_2H_6$ is burned in excess oxygen gas?

The first thing to do here is make sure that you have a balanced chemical equation. The equation given to you is actually unbalanced, so focus on writing a balanced...
