When ethane (C2H6) burns, it produces carbon dioxide and water:

2C2H6(g)+7O2(g)→4CO2(g)+6H2O(l)

How many liters of carbon dioxide will be produced when 179 L of ethane are burned?

(One mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L under certain conditions of temperature and pressure. Assume those conditions for this question.)

Use the mole (and volume) ratio from the balanced equation: 2 C2H6 → 4 CO2, so 1 L C2H6 → 2 L CO2.
Thus CO2 volume = 179 L × 2 = 358 L.
