how many moles of C2H6 are needed to form 0.16 mol of CO what is the correct significant figure other than 0.08

Answers

GPT 3.5
To determine how many moles of C2H6 are needed to form 0.16 mol of CO, we first need to write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of C2H6:

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 -> 4 CO + 6 H2O

From the balanced equation, we can see that 2 moles of C2H6 react to produce 4 moles of CO.

Therefore, for 0.16 mol of CO, we would need:

0.16 mol CO * (2 mol C2H6 / 4 mol CO) = 0.08 mol C2H6

So, 0.08 mol of C2H6 is needed to form 0.16 mol of CO.

The correct significant figure other than 0.08 is 0.080 when considering three significant figures.
