How many liters of carbon dioxide will be produced when 89.5 L of ethane are burned? (One mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L under certain conditions of temperature and pressure. Assume those conditions for this question.)

179 L of CO2

Explanation:

Given the equation of the reaction;

C2H6(g) + 7/2 O2(g) > 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

Now 1 mole of ethane yields 2 moles of CO2 from the balanced reaction equation

1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L volume so,

22.4 L of ethane yields 44.8 L of CO2

89.5 L of ethane yields 89.5 * 44.8/22.4 = 179 L of CO2

there are two significant figures.

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
