Question

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as ethane (C₂H) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the
Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the
production of carbon dioxide.
1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the
combustion of gaseous ethane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
2. Suppose 0.400 kg of ethane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a
temperature of 17.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced.
Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
