What quantity of reactants remains after ignition of a mixture that contains 2 moles of C2H6 mixed with 1.6 moles of O2?

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.


Is there a symbol for ethane and if there is what is it?

yes, it has. It has C2H6 .


Ethane C2H6 reacts with molecular oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction?

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O


Is C2H6 a hydrocarbon?

Yes, C2H6 is a hydrocarbon. It is specifically a saturated hydrocarbon known as ethane, which is composed of two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms.


How many grams of oxygen gas are required to completely react with 77.28 g of ethane (C2H6) in the balanced redox reaction 2 C2H6(g) 7 O2(g) 4 CO2(g) 6 H2O(g)?

To determine the grams of oxygen gas required to react with 77.28 g of ethane (C2H6), first calculate the moles of ethane. The molar mass of C2H6 is approximately 30.07 g/mol, so 77.28 g of C2H6 corresponds to about 2.57 moles of C2H6. According to the balanced reaction, 2 moles of C2H6 react with 7 moles of O2; thus, for 2.57 moles of C2H6, the required moles of O2 would be ( \frac{7}{2} \times 2.57 \approx 9.00 ) moles of O2. Finally, using the molar mass of O2 (approximately 32 g/mol), the mass of O2 needed is ( 9.00 , \text{mol} \times 32 , \text{g/mol} = 288 , \text{g} ).
