Combustion of Ethane
2C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O
Обзор
Ethane burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Ethane is the second most abundant component of natural gas (typically 1-6%). It is also cracked to produce ethylene, the world's most-produced organic chemical.

Пример из жизни
When natural gas burns in your home, a small portion of the combustion is ethane burning alongside the majority methane.
Промышленное значение
Ethane is primarily valuable as a feedstock for ethylene production via steam cracking, rather than as a fuel. US shale gas has greatly increased ethane availability.
