Question

given the chemical equation: $ce{c6h12o6 + 6 o2 -> 6 co2 + 6 h2o}$, identify which of the following statements are correct.

check all that apply

$ce{co2}$ is a reactant.
$ce{h2o}$ is a product.
$ce{c6h12o6}$ is both a reactant and a product.
$ce{o2}$ is a reactant.

Explanation:

Step 1: Recall chemical equation terms

In a chemical equation, reactants are on the left of $
ightarrow$, products on the right.

Step 2: Analyze each option

• $\ce{CO_{2}}$: On the right (product), so "reactant" is wrong.
• $\ce{H_{2}O}$: On the right (product), so this is correct.
• $\ce{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}}$: Only on the left (reactant), not a product.
• $\ce{O_{2}}$: On the left (reactant), so this is correct.

Answer:

B. $\ce{H_{2}O}$ is a product.
D. $\ce{O_{2}}$ is a reactant.
