The combustion of ethane (C2H6) is represented by the equation: 2 C2H6(g) + 7 O2(g) → 4 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l) In this reaction: (A) water is formed at a rate equal to two-thirds the rate of formation of CO2. (B) the rate of consumption of ethane is seven times faster than the rate of consumption of oxygen. (C) CO2 is formed twice as fast as ethane is consumed. (D) the rate of consumption of oxygen equals the rate of production of water. (E) the rate of formation of CO2 equals the rate of formation of water.
