Key Stage 3
Meaning
Ethane is a gaseous (at room temperature) hydrocarbon with chemical formula C2H6.
About Ethane
- Ethane is hydrocarbon because it contains only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms.
- Ethane can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Ethane + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
- <chem>2C2H6 + 7O2 -> 4CO2 + 6H2O</chem>
