**Conversion Factors in Chemical Reactions**

---

**Example Problem:**

Determine the number of moles of \(O_2\) required to react with a given quantity of \(C_2H_6\) (ethane).

**Balanced Chemical Equation:**

\[ 2C_2H_6(g) + 5O_2(g) \rightarrow 4CO(g) + 6H_2O(g) \]

**Given Quantity:**

\[ 1.6 \text{ moles of } C_2H_6 \]

**Units Desired:**

\[ \text{moles of } O_2 \]

**Conversion Factors:**

To solve this problem, use stoichiometry based on the balanced chemical equation to convert from moles of \(C_2H_6\) to moles of \(O_2\). The conversion factor can be derived from the coefficients in the balanced equation.

---

The reaction shows that 2 moles of \(C_2H_6\) react with 5 moles of \(O_2\). 

\[
\left( \frac{5 \text{ moles of } O_2}{2 \text{ moles of } C_2H_6} \right)
\]

Using this conversion factor, you can calculate the moles of \(O_2\) needed for 1.6 moles of \(C_2H_6\).

### Stoichiometry Calculation for Ethane to Carbon Dioxide

#### 1. Problem Statement

**Given:**
- Mass of Ethane (\(C_2H_6\)) = 100.0 g

**Find:**
- Mass of Carbon Dioxide (\(CO_2\)) produced

#### 2. Solution Process

#### **Quantity Calculation**

\[
100.0 \, \text{g} \, C_2H_6 \times \frac{1 \, \text{mole} \, C_2H_6}{30 \, \text{g} \, C_2H_6} \times \frac{4 \, \text{moles CO}_2}{2 \, \text{moles} \, C_2H_6} \times \frac{44 \, \text{g CO}_2}{1 \, \text{mole CO}_2} = \textcolor{#ff0000}{293 \, \text{g CO}_2}
\]

#### **Conversion Factors**

1. **From Stoichiometric Equation:**
   \[
   2 \, \text{moles} \, C_2H_6 = 4 \, \text{moles CO}_2
   \]

2. **From Molecular Weight of \(C_2H_6\):**
   \[
   1 \, \text{mole} \, C_2H_6 = 30 \, \text{g} \, C_2H_6
   \]

3. **From Molecular Weight of \(CO_2\):**
   \[
   1 \, \text{mole CO}_2 = 44 \, \text{g CO}_2
   \]

These conversion factors are used in the calculation to determine the mass of \(CO_2\) produced from the given mass of \(C_2H_6\).

#### **Final Answer:**
\[
\boxed{293 \, \text{g CO}_2}
\]

The mass of carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) produced from 100.0 g of ethane (\(C_2H_6\)) is 293 g.
