Question
What volume of oxygen would be required for complete combustion of 100L of ethane according to the following equation?
2C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O

Solution
Molecular mass of ethane = 30
According to Gay-Lussac's law:
2 vol. of C2H6 requires= 7 vol. of oxygen
Vol. of C2H6 = 2 vol. = 100 L
Vol. of oxygen required = 7 vol. = 350L
