Question

When a forest burns and all that's left is some ash,
where did most of the mass of the trees go? List the 2 molecules produced. What is the equation for combustion, starting with sugar and oxygen.

Answer 1

Answer:

C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + H₂O

Explanation:

When a forest burns and all that's left is some ash,  most of the mass of the trees go to the atmosphere, in the form of carbon dioxide.

In a total combustion process of organic matter, the two molecules produced are carbon dioxide and water. (CO₂ and H₂O)

The equation for the combustion of glucose is:

C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + H₂O

Answer 2

Answer:  i think C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + H₂O

Explanation:
