Question

C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + ATP
a. How many atoms of each type of atom are present in the reactants?

b. How many atoms of each type of atom are present in the products?

Answer 1

There are, 7 Carbon atoms, 10 Oxygen atoms, 12 Hydrogen atoms in the reactants and 1 Carbon atom, 3 Oxygen atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms in the products.

How to count the number of atoms in reactants and products?

• Write down the chemical formula that is:
• $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ + $O_{2}$ → $CO_{2}$ + $H_{2} O$ + $ATP$

• List all the atoms present in the equation:

C

H

O

• Count the number of atoms of the element of each molecule in the reactant.

C=6

O=8

H=12

• Count the number of atoms of the element of each molecule in the Product.

C=1

O=8

H=2

Hence there are,  6 Carbon atoms, 8 Oxygen atoms, 12 Hydrogen atoms in the reactants and 1 Carbon atom, 3 Oxygen atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms in the products.
