Ethane (C2H6) is one of many compounds that burns in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, as represented by the equation below. Which substance is a product in this reaction? *

From the question, the equation which is 2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O has the products as 4CO2 + 6H2O( which is carbon dioxide and water)

Explanation:

Chemical reaction is a process in chemistry which leads to the formation of new substances referred to as PRODUCTS from combination of two or more substances called REACTANTS. There are different types of chemical reaction which includes COMBUSTION REACTION that is mostly seen in hydrocarbons.

Ethane is an example of a saturated hydrocarbon ( that is all the four bonds of carbon are single bonds) which undergoes combustion reaction with oxygen molecule. Ethane will burn in air( oxygen) to give off carbon dioxide and water as products of the chemical reaction.

2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O

Shane and oxygen is the reactants of the chemical reaction while carbon dioxide and water is the products.

it would be a gas formation

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
