Answer:
The type of reaction for the following equation is combustion equation.
Explanation:
Combustion reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water molecule.
[tex]\text{hydrocarbon}+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O[/tex]
The reaction given to us:
[tex]C_2H_6 + \frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 3H_2O + 2CO_2[/tex]
When 1 mole of ethane reacts with 7/2 moles of oxygen gas it gives 3 moles of water and 2 moles of carbon dioxide gas.
The type of reaction for the following equation is combustion equation.
