1 mole ethane, C2H6, is combusted in a reactor by using theoretical amounts of air. The products for this reaction are CO2(g) and H2O(g) at 25 °C. What is the heat of reaction? What are the exiting compositions of CO2(g), H2O(g), and N2(g)?  Using the computed heat of reaction, assume this amount is absorbed by the reactants, which are CO2(g), H2O(g), and the inert N2(g). What will be the final temperature of these gases?
