Ethane (C2H6) is an abundant natural gas, primary used in the production of plastics. It is a colorless and odorless gas that can cause dizziness, nausea and headache. Contact with liquid ethane can cause frostbite.

For the following unbalanced chemical reaction (combustion), calculate the following:

1. Balance the chemical equation above.

_C2H6 + _O2 -> _CO2 + _H2O

2. As the supervising engineer at a plastics plant, you are tasked with the production of large amounts of plastic. One of your tasks is also to manage all of the CO, produced by the reaction. If on any given day a total of 8.91027

' particles of water are produced, how many moles of CO2 are also produced?

3. If the maximum allowed amount of CO2 produced by any plastics plant is 9945 moles a day, is your plastics plan within the allowed limit?

4. How much more or less CO2 could your plant produce?

5. If your plastics plant stays within the allowed limit per day, how many grams of C2H6 can be used on a daily basis?

6. How many particles of O2 are used at the plastics plant on a daily basis?
