Ethane burns in oxygen to form Carbon dioxide and Water vapours. Write the balanced equation.

Answer»

Solution :In this case, the conditions are different. Therefore, we should convert the VOLUME of `CO_2`produced (5.0 L) at `27^@C` and 1 atm to the given conditions i.e., at `50^@C` and 1.5 atm.
Therefore,
`P_1 = 1.0 " atm," "" V_1 = 5.0 L`,
`T_1 = 27 + 273 = 300 K`
and `P_2 = 1.5 " atm," ""V_2` = ?
`T_2 = 50 + 273 = 323 K`
According to the GAS equation,
`(P_1 V_1)/T_1 =(P_2 V_2)/(T_2)`
or`V_2= (P_1 V_1 T_2)/(T_1 P_2) =(1.0 xx 5.0 xx 323)/(300 xx 1.5) = 3.6 L`
Therefore, 3.6 L of `CO_2` will be produced at `50^@C` and 1.5 atm pressure.
