Question 2
To find the volume that 7.5 g of ethane will occupy at the same conditions:
- Calculate the molar mass of ethane (C₂H₆): (2 * 12) + (6 * 1) = 24 + 6 = 30 g/mol.
- 7.0 g of ethane corresponds to 7.0 / 30 = 0.233 mol.
- At STP, 1 mol of gas occupies 22.4 dm³. Hence, 0.233 mol occupies 0.233 * 22.4 = 5.6 dm³.
- Using the same steps, 7.5 g of ethane corresponds to 7.5 / 30 = 0.25 mol.

\[
27.0 \, \text{cm}^3 \times 0.100 \, \text{mol/dm}^3 = 2.7 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{mol}
\]
Using the fact that 1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of NH$_3$:
\[
