Multiply across the top of the unit conversion. What is the product of the numerator?

[tex]\[
\frac{24 \text{ moles } C_2H_6 \times 7 \text{ moles } O_2}{2 \text{ moles } C_2H_6} =
\][/tex]

What is the product of the numerator?



Answer :

To find the product of the numerator, we will follow a step-by-step approach. Here's how it is done:

1. List the values in the numerator:
- 24 moles of [tex]\( C_2H_6 \)[/tex]
- 7 moles of [tex]\( O_2 \)[/tex]

These are the factors in the numerator that need to be multiplied together.

2. Multiply the values in the numerator:
[tex]\[ 24 \text{ moles } C_2H_6 \times 7 \text{ moles } O_2 \][/tex]

Now, perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[ 24 \times 7 = 168 \][/tex]

Thus, the product of the numerator is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{168} \][/tex]
