Explanation:

First Sub - Question: Which chemical formula(s) represents the products?

In a chemical reaction, the substances on the right - hand side of the arrow are the products. Looking at the given reaction (assuming it's a typo and the reactant - product relation is considered, and if we assume a correct reaction context like cellular respiration or combustion, but from the given formula \(C_6H_{12}O_6+O_2\) (correcting the typo \(C_6H:2O_6\) to \(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) as products? Wait, no, actually, maybe there is a typo in the reaction arrow direction. If we consider a reaction like photosynthesis (but photosynthesis has reactants \(CO_2\) and \(H_2O\) and products \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) and \(O_2\)) or respiration (reactants \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) and \(O_2\), products \(CO_2\) and \(H_2O\)). But from the given formula in the problem, if the arrow is from energy to \(C_6H_{12}O_6 + O_2\) (correcting the typo), then the products are \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) (glucose) and \(O_2\) (oxygen).

Step1: Analyze \(C_6H_{12}O_6\)

For the formula \(C_6H_{12}O_6\), the subscript of \(C\) is 6, so the number of carbon atoms is 6. The subscript of \(H\) is 12, so the number of hydrogen atoms is 12. The subscript of \(O\) is 6, so the number of oxygen atoms from \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) is 6.

Step2: Analyze \(O_2\)

For the formula \(O_2\), the subscript of \(O\) is 2, so the number of oxygen atoms from \(O_2\) is 2.

Step3: Calculate total number of each atom

• For carbon (\(C\)): Only from \(C_6H_{12}O_6\), so \(C = 6\).
• For hydrogen (\(H\)): Only from \(C_6H_{12}O_6\), so \(H=12\).
• For oxygen (\(O\)): Sum of oxygen from \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) and \(O_2\), so \(O = 6 + 2=8\).

Answer:

\(C_6H_{12}O_6\) and \(O_2\)
