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.

Verified Answer :

The number of moles of O₂ will be 28 moles.

The given balanced reaction:

\(2C_2H_6 + 7O_2==>4CO_2 + 6H_2O\)

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 = \(\frac{7}{2}\) moles of O₂

8 moles of C₂H₆  = \(\frac{7}{2} *8\) moles of O₂

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