Question

What kind of reaction is the chemical equation C6H12O8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

Answer 1

answer : 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O8 + 5O2

Explanation:

Label Each Compound With a Variable

aCO2 + bH2O = cC6H12O8 + dO2

2. Create a System of Equations, One Per Element

C: 1a + 0b = 6c + 0d

O: 2a + 1b = 8c + 2d

H: 0a + 2b = 12c + 0d

3. Solve For All Variables

a = 6

b = 6

c = 1

d = 5

4. Substitute and Verify Result

6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O8 + 5O2
