Question -

For the reaction $C_{2} H_{6} (g) + n O_{2} ⟶ C O_{2} (g) + H_{2} O (l)$ , the ratio of the coefficients of $C O_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ is:

Options:

A . 1:1

B . 2:3

C . 3:2

D . 1:3

Answer: Option B
:
B

The balanced equation is: $2 C_{2} H_{6} + 7 O_{2} ⟶ 4 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$ . As you can see - the ratio of the coefficients of $C O_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ is 4:6 or 2:3.
