Question

A balanced chemical equation is shown below
C6H1206 +602-6H20 + 6CO2
Which of the following best describes the number of atoms for each element in the chemical equation?
A. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms on the reactant side and 6 carbon atoms, 12
hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms on the product side.
B. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 8 oxygen atoms on the reactant side and 6 carbon atoms, 12
hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms on the product side.
C. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms on the reactant side and 6 carbon atoms, 12
hydrogen atoms, and 3 oxygen atoms on the product side
D. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 12 oxygen atoms on the reactant side and 1 carbon atom, 2 hydrogen
atoms, and 3 oxygen atoms on the product side.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H20

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H20At the reactant side, there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms.

atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms.At product side, there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms.

(In a balanced equation, the no. of atoms on the reactant side must be equal to the no. of atoms on the product side)
