Combustion of Ethane

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Genel Bakış

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.

Günlük Örnek

When natural gas burns in your home, a small portion of the combustion is ethane burning alongside the majority methane.

Endüstriyel Önemi

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.
