Rudy · Answer 1

2C (s) + 3H2 (g) - -> C2H6 (g)

Konnor Holmes · Answer 2

Answer: 2C (s) + 3H2 (g) = C2H6 (g)

Explanation:

In balancing chemical equations, the reactant must be equal to the product. I. e law of conservation of matter must hold.

2 moles of carbon would react with 3 moles of hydrogen to give 1 mole of methane

2C (s) + 3H2 (g) = C2H6 (g)
