Question

1. label the reactants, products, coefficients, and subscripts in the following equation: 6co₂ + 6h₂o → c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂ 6. write 2 sentences. describe your process for checking an equation to determine if mass has been conserved.

Explanation:

Answer:

(5) Reactants: \(6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O\); Products: \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}\); Coefficients: 6 (for \(CO_{2}\), \(H_{2}O\), and \(O_{2}\)), 1 (for \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\)); Sub - scripts: 2 (in \(CO_{2}\) and \(H_{2}O\)), 6, 12, 6 (in \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\))
(6) First, count the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side: 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 18 oxygen atoms in \(6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O\). Then, count the number of atoms of each element on the product side: 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 18 oxygen atoms in \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}\). Since the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation, mass has been conserved.
