Question

Consider the chemical equation for the combustion of sugar. _C6H12O6(s) _O2(g) mc018-1. Jpg _CO2(g) _H2O(l) Which sequence of coefficients should be placed in the blanks to balance this equation? 1, 6, 6, 6 6, 1, 6, 1 3, 3, 3, 6 1, 3, 3, 6.

Answer 1

The coefficient in the reaction has been 1 for $\rm C_6H_1_2O_6$, 6 for $\rm O_2$, 6 for $\rm CO_2$, and 6 for $\rm H_2O$. Thus, the correct option is A.

The balanced chemical equation has been given to follow the law of conservation of mass. The given reaction has been the combustion of sugar.

The reaction has been given as:

$\rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;CO_2\;+\;H_2O$

The balanced chemical equation has been the reaction in which the number of atoms of each reactants on the product side are equal. The balanced chemical equation for sugar combustion has been:

$\rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O$

The coefficient in the reaction has been 1 for $\rm C_6H_1_2O_6$, 6 for $\rm O_2$, 6 for $\rm CO_2$, and 6 for $\rm H_2O$. Thus, the correct option is A.
