What are the resulting coefficients when you balance the chemical equation for t

Question

What are the resulting coefficients when you balance the chemical equation for the combustion of ethane, C_2H_6? In this reaction, ethane is burned in the presence of oxygen (O_2) to form carbon dioxide (CO_2)and water (H_2O). _____C_2H_6(g) + ______ O_2(g) rightarrow ______ CO_2(g) + _____ H_2O(g) Recall that the coefficients of the final balanced equation should be whole numbers. Thus. you might need to multiply through the equation by a factor of two to obtain whole numbers in your last step. If you have trouble balancing the equation below. use the first hint to view a video of a similar equation being balanced. Then, use the rest of the hints to help you balance the equation, step-by-step. Express the coefficients as integers separated by commas.

Explanation / Answer

answer : 2 , 7 , 4 , 6

Explanation :

combustion of ethane :

C2H6 (g) + O2 (g)   --------------> CO2 (g) + H2O (g)

balanced equation :

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

2 C2H6 (g) + 7 O2 (g)   --------------> 4 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (g)
