Question

1. in the following chemical equation, identify the products and reactants and indicate whether or not the equation is balanced. if not, balance the chemical equation. 6co₂ + 6h₂o → c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂

Explanation:

Step1: Identify reactants and products

Reactants are on the left - side: $6CO_2$ and $6H_2O$. Products are on the right - side: $C_6H_{12}O_6$ and $6O_2$.

Step2: Check element conservation

Carbon (C): In reactants, number of C atoms: $6\times1 = 6$ (from $6CO_2$). In products, number of C atoms in $C_6H_{12}O_6$ is 6.
Hydrogen (H): In reactants, number of H atoms: $6\times2=12$ (from $6H_2O$). In products, number of H atoms in $C_6H_{12}O_6$ is 12.
Oxygen (O): In reactants, number of O atoms: $(6\times2)+(6\times1)=12 + 6=18$ (from $6CO_2$ and $6H_2O$). In products, number of O atoms: $6+(6\times2)=6 + 12 = 18$ (from $C_6H_{12}O_6$ and $6O_2$).

Answer:

Reactants: $6CO_2$ and $6H_2O$. Products: $C_6H_{12}O_6$ and $6O_2$. The equation is balanced.
