Ethane burns in air to form carbon dioxide and water. The equation is 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)   a) In the above equation, how many liters of oxygen (O2) are required to burn 6.0  L  of ethane (C2H6) gas? Assume that both gases are measured at the same temperature and pressure.   b) In the equation above, what volume of ethane (C2H6) in liters is required to form 28  L  of carbon dioxide (CO2)?   c) In the equation, if 14 L of ethane (C2H6) and 14 L of oxygen (O2) combined and burned to completion, which gas will be leftover after the reaction, and what is the volume of that gas remaining?

Ethane burns in air to form carbon dioxide and water. The equation is

2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)

 

a) In the above equation, how many liters of oxygen (O2) are required to burn 6.0  L  of ethane (C2H6) gas? Assume that both gases are measured at the same temperature and pressure.

 
b) In the equation above, what volume of ethane (C2H6) in liters is required to form 28  L  of carbon dioxide (CO2)?
 
c) In the equation, if 14 L of ethane (C2H6) and 14 L of oxygen (O2) combined and burned to completion, which gas will be leftover after the reaction, and what is the volume of that gas remaining?
Enter the name of the gas followed by its volume in liters to the nearest whole number, separated by a comma.
