Yeah, Arien, and what happened to the extra H? Also, C2H5 is an ion, or a conjugate base, not a discrete molecule. A more likely reaction is to take ethane and react it with water. The reaction is C2H6 + H2O = C2H5OH + H2. Another possibility is to take oxygen and react it with ethane. The reaction is: C2H6 + O2 = C2H5OH + O(aq). The oxygen is aqueous, or it can combine with another ethane to create another ethanol molecule. The real situation might be much more complicated, involving some other molecule reacting with ethane to donate an oxygen molecule, with a number of intermediate steps.

I think it would be like
C2H5 +H20-------C2H5OH
