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.
