Consider the combustion of ethane: $$ 2 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}(g)+7 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) $$ If the ethane is burning at the rate of $0.20 \mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{s}$, at what rates are $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ being produced?

Consider the combustion of ethane:
$$
2 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}(g)+7 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)
$$
If the ethane is burning at the rate of $0.20 \mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{s}$, at what rates are $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ being produced?

Key Concepts

Reaction Rate

The reaction rate is the measure of how quickly a reactant is consumed or a product is formed, typically expressed as a change in concentration per unit time. It provides insight into the speed of a chemical process, whether for reactant consumption or product formation.

Conversion Using Stoichiometric Ratios

Conversion using stoichiometric ratios involves applying the coefficients from a balanced chemical equation to relate the rate of consumption of one species to the rate of formation of another. This concept ensures that changes in concentration for different substances are accurately linked according to the reaction's molar proportions.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry refers to the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction as given by the balanced chemical equation. It enables the determination of how many moles of one substance react or are produced relative to another, based on their coefficients in the equation.
