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
