The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of ethane(g) with oxygen(g) to form carbon dioxide(g) and water(g). 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g)4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g) H = -2.86×103 kJ When 6.74 grams of ethane(g) react with excess oxygen(g), kJ of energy are .

Respuesta :

Answer: Thus [tex]0.31\times 10^3kJ[/tex] of energy is produced

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]  

[tex]\text{Moles of} C_2H_6=\frac{6.74g}{30g/mol}=0.22moles[/tex]

[tex]2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)[/tex]  [tex]\Delta H=-2.86\times 10^3kJ[/tex]

According to stoichiometry

2 moles of ethane produce energy = [tex]2.86\times 10^3kJ[/tex]

Thus 0.22moles of ethane produce energy =[tex]\frac{2.86\times 10^3kJ}{2}\times 0.22=0.31\times 10^3kJ[/tex]

Thus [tex]0.31\times 10^3kJ[/tex] of energy is produced
