Name the two compounds formed when ethane burns in an excess of oxygen.
C2H4 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
i didn't put the coefficients so its not balanced. I just wanted to show your the products
To determine the compounds formed when ethane (C2H6) burns in an excess of oxygen (O2), we first need to write a balanced equation for the combustion reaction.
The balanced equation for the combustion of ethane is:
C2H6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
From the balanced equation, we can see that the two compounds formed when ethane burns in an excess of oxygen are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
