A colourless gas which turns lime water milky but has no effect on acidified potassium dichromate paper.

The chemical equation for the combustion of ethane is
$2\mathrm{}{\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_6+7{\mathrm{O}}_2\to 4\mathrm{}{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}}_2+6\mathrm{}{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$
$60\mathrm{}\mathrm{g}$ of ethane was completely burnt in oxygen. Answer the following question:

How would you test the presence of water as a product of this reaction?

Copper (II) carbonate is a green solid which decomposes on heating to form _____ gas.

(Write the name of the gas.)

What do you observe:

Sulphur dioxide is passed through acidified ${\mathrm{K}}_2{\mathrm{Cr}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$ solution.
