The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of ethane is:
2CH3CH3 + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O
This means that for every 2 moles of CH3CH3 combusted, 4 moles of CO2 are produced.
Using this ratio, we can calculate how many moles of CO2 are obtained from 0.27 mole of CH3CH3:
(0.27 mol CH3CH3) x (4 mol CO2 / 2 mol CH3CH3) = 0.54 mol CO2
Therefore, 0.54 moles of CO2 are obtained when 0.27 mole of CH3CH3 is completely combusted.
