The combustion of ethane (C2H6) produces carbon dioxide and steam. 2C, H, (g) + 702(g) — 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
How many moles of Co, are produced when 5.55 mol of ethane is burned in an excess of oxygen?
moles of CO2:

Number of moles of CO₂ produced = 11.1 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ethane = 5.55 mol

Number of moles of CO₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂       →     4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of ethane and carbondioxide.

             C₂H₆          :           CO₂

                 2             :            4

              5.55          :         4/2×5.55 = 11.1 moles

Number of moles of CO₂ produced =  11.1 mol

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8
