Question

given the chemical equation: c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6 o₂ → 6 co₂ + 6 h₂o, identify which of the following statements are correct.

check all that apply

□ co₂ is a reactant.

□ h₂o is a product.

□ c₆h₁₂o₆ is both a reactant and a product.

□ o₂ is a reactant.

Explanation:

• For the statement " $\ce{CO2}$ is a reactant": In the chemical equation $\ce{C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O}$, reactants are on the left - hand side of the arrow and products are on the right - hand side. $\ce{CO2}$ is on the right - hand side, so it is a product, not a reactant. So this statement is incorrect.
• For the statement " $\ce{H2O}$ is a product": Since $\ce{H2O}$ is on the right - hand side of the chemical equation (the side of products), this statement is correct.
• For the statement " $\ce{C6H12O6}$ is both a reactant and a product": $\ce{C6H12O6}$ is only on the left - hand side (reactant side) of the equation, so it is just a reactant, not a product. This statement is incorrect.
• For the statement " $\ce{O2}$ is a reactant": $\ce{O2}$ is on the left - hand side (reactant side) of the chemical equation, so this statement is correct.

Answer:

B. $\ce{H2O}$ is a product, D. $\ce{O2}$ is a reactant
