The reaction you provided is the combustion of ethane (C2H6).
In the balanced chemical equation:
\[ 2C_2H_6 + 7O_2 \rightarrow 4CO_2 + 6H_2O \]
The reactants are:
- Ethane (C2H6)
- Oxygen (O2)
Given that you mentioned leftovers of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), it indicates that there is some unreacted nitrogen and oxygen remaining after the reaction, but in the balanced equation, the reactants are still ethane and oxygen.
So, the reactants are:
1. Ethane (C2H6)
2. Oxygen (O2)
In the balanced chemical equation:
\[ 2C_2H_6 + 7O_2 \rightarrow 4CO_2 + 6H_2O \]
