    Answer:

    C₂H₆(g) + 2.5 O₂(g) ⇒ 2 CO(g) + 3 H₂O(g)

    Explanation:

    Let’s consider the unbalanced equation in which gaseous ethane reacts with gaseous oxygen to form carbon monoxide gas and water vapor. This is an incomplete combustion reaction.

    C₂H₆(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO(g) + H₂O(g)

    We will balance it using the trial and error method.

    First, we will balance C atoms by multiplying CO by 2 and H atoms by multiplying H₂O by 3.

    C₂H₆(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 2 CO(g) + 3 H₂O(g)

    Then, we get the balanced equation by multiplying O₂ by 2.5.

    C₂H₆(g) + 2.5 O₂(g) ⇒ 2 CO(g) + 3 H₂O(g)
