Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:

2C2H6 + 7O2==>4CO2 + 6H2O

Determine the total number of moles of oxygen that react completely with 8.0 moles of C2H6.

Respuesta :

The number of moles of O₂ will be 28 moles.

The given balanced reaction:

[tex]2C_2H_6 + 7O_2==>4CO_2 + 6H_2O[/tex]

From the above reaction,

2 moles of C₂H₆ nd 7 moles of O₂ reacts together to produce 4 moles of CO₂ and 6 moles of H₂O.

Given:

Number of moles of C₂H₆ = 8

To find:

Number of moles of O₂=?

2 moles of C₂H₆  reacts with 7 moles of O₂.

1 mol of C₂H₆ = [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] moles of O₂

8 moles of C₂H₆  = [tex]\frac{7}{2} *8[/tex] moles of O₂

Thus, number of moles of O₂ will be 28 moles.
