It is the chemical formula for the gas, Ethane. You may be able to visualize it better if we write the formula as:
CH3 - CH2 - CH3
A hydrocarbon is C2H6.
1molecule of C2H6 contains 2 carbon atoms
C2H6 is ethane. It's one of the constituents of natural gas.
Balanced equation first. 2C2H6 + 7O2 -> 4CO2 +6H2O I suspect C2H6 of limiting the reaction. 2 moles C2H6 (1.6 moles O2/2 moles C2H6) = 1.6 moles O2 left over and all of the C2H6 is consumed.
C2h6
C2h6
yes!
You mean balance it? 2C2H6 + 7O2 -> 4CO2 + 6H2O
C6H14 because it has a higher molar mass and is more complex
C2H6
yes, it has. It has C2H6 .
Ethane.
