Balance the following chemical equation (if necessary) for the combustion reaction of glucose:
C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) -----> CO2(g) + H2O(g)

Answer :

C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) -----> CO2(g) + H2O(g)

[tex]\\ \tt\rightarrowtail C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\longrightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O[/tex]

On both sides

  • C=6
  • H=12
  • O=18
