    - 407.4 kJ of heat is released.

    Explanation:

    We have to write the balanced equation as,

    2 C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

    Here 2 moles of ethane reacts in this reaction.

    Now we have to find out the amount of ethane reacted using its given mass and molar mass as,

    2 mol C₂H₆ * 30.07 g of C₂H₆ / 1 mol C₂H₆ = 60.14 g of C₂H₆

    Heat released = ΔH * given mass / 60.14

    = - 1560. 7 kj * 15.7 g / 60. 14 g = - 407. 4 kJ
