Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution
2C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O
The coefficients show the number of particles (atoms or molecules), and the indices show the number of atoms that make up the molecule. New substances are formed as a result of the rearrangement of the original atoms. As a result of a chemical reaction, atoms of chemical elements do not disappear anywhere and new ones do not appear, their number remains unchanged – this follows from the law of conservation of mass of substances.
Chemical Reaction Information
Ethane + Dioxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction. C2H6 is a reducing agent, O2 is an oxidizing agent.
- 4 C-III – 28 e– → 4 CIV (oxidation)
- 14 O0 + 28 e– → 14 O-II (reduction)
Reaction Type
Combustion
Substances that react are called starting materials or reactants. The substances that form as a result are called reaction products.
