What is the balanced chemical equation for the oxidation of ethane to form water and carbon dioxide?

The balanced chemical equation for the oxidation of ethane (C2H6) to form water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is: 2 C2H6 + 7 O2 -> 4 CO2 + 6 H2O. This equation shows that two molecules of ethane react with seven molecules of oxygen to produce four molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water.


How would you write this balanced C2H6 plus O2 ---- CO2 plus H2O?

C2H6 + O2 = CO2 + H2O There are two carbons in the reactant, so there are two carbon in 'CO2', by writing '2CO2' . Hence C2H6 + O2 = 2CO2 + H2O Similarly, there are six hydrogen in the reactant, so there are six hundreds in H2O , by writing ' 3H2O . Hence C2H6 + O2 = 2CO2 + 3H2O To balance the oxygens, we now think ' backwards'. We note in the products there are 2 x 2 = 4 oxygen in CO2. and 3 x 1 = 3 in H2O. So we need 4 + 3 = 7 oxygens in the reactants. We already have '2' oxygen in the reactants as 'O2' . To make this up to '7' , we write ' 3 1/2' as the molar ratio/. ( 2 x 3 1/2 = 7) Hence C2H6 + ( 3 1/2)O2 = 2CO2 + 3H2O Chemists do NOT like fractions in the molar ratios. So to remove the '3 1/2' we multiply the whole reaction eq'n by '2'. Hence 2C2H6 + 7O2 = 4CO2 + 6H2O is the balanced reaction eq'n. NB Note the number of each type of atom are equal on both sides. 4 carbons 12 hydrogens 14 oxygens. NNB When doing these combustion eq'ns for alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, etc., Think to forward balance the carbons and hydrogens, then 'Back' think of the number of oxygens.
