The burning of ethane produces both CO2 and H2O. If 200 mL of CO2 is produced at 20°C and 750 torr, what volume of water vapor would be produced at 24°C and 790 torr?
C2H6 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O (need to balance)

Answer:
On balancing the equation yields :

C2H6 + (3.5)O2 ----> 2CO2+ 3H2O

So, the ratio of moles in the ratio are 2:3.

Use the ideal gas equation
PV = nRT
n = PV/RT
Thus, we have n directly proprtional to PV/T (as R is constant)

The number of moles of CO2 = (750*200/293*R)

The number of moles of H2O produced = 3/2*(750*200/293*R)

Use the universal gas equation again.

PV = nRT
V = nRT/P
V = 3/2*(750*200/293*R) * R * 297 / 790
V = 3*750*200*R*297/(2*293*790*R)
V = 288.6983 mL
