A balanced equation for the combustion of gaseous ethane in air forms carbon dioxide and water vapor can be written as:
[tex]2C_2} H_{6}_{(g)} +7O_{2}_{(g)}[/tex] → [tex]6H_{2} O_{(g)} + 4CO_{2}_{(g)}[/tex]
What is gaseous ethane?
Ethane, a colourless, odourless, gaseous hydrocarbon (compound of hydrogen and carbon), belonging to the paraffin series; its chemical formula is C2H6. Ethane is structurally the simplest hydrocarbon that contains a single carbon–carbon bond. The second most important constituent of natural gas, it also occurs dissolved in petroleum oils and as a by-product of oil refinery operations and of the carbonization of coal.
The industrial importance of ethane is based upon the ease with which it may be converted to ethylene ([tex]C_{2} H_{4}[/tex]) and hydrogen by pyrolysis, or cracking, when passed through hot tubes. Like propane and, to a lesser extent, butane, ethane is a major raw material for the huge ethylene petrochemical industry, which produces such important products as polyethylene plastic, ethylene glycol, and ethyl alcohol.
