Question

using the following chemical reaction, classify each statement as being true of the reactants, true of the products, or true of both. 6co₂ + 6h₂o -> c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂ 264g 108.1g 180.1g 192g includes water (h2o) has a total mass of 372.1g includes 6 carbon atoms is on the left side of the arrow. is on the right side of the arrow. reactants products both

Explanation:

Step1: Identify reactants and products

The left - hand side of the arrow ($6CO_2 + 6H_2O$) are reactants and the right - hand side ($C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$) are products.

Step2: Analyze each statement

Statement 1: Includes Water ($H_2O$)

Water is a reactant. So it is true for reactants.

Statement 2: Has a total mass of 372.1g

We need to calculate molar masses. Molar mass of $6CO_2$: $6\times(12 + 2\times16)=264g$, molar mass of $6H_2O$: $6\times(2\times1+16)=108g$, sum of reactant masses is $264 + 108=372g$. For products, molar mass of $C_6H_{12}O_6$ is $6\times12+12\times1 + 6\times16 = 180g$, molar mass of $6O_2$ is $6\times32 = 192g$, sum of product masses is $180+192 = 372g$. True for both.

Statement 3: Includes 6 Carbon atoms

Reactants: $6CO_2$ has 6 carbon atoms. Products: $C_6H_{12}O_6$ has 6 carbon atoms. True for both.

Statement 4: Is on the right side of the arrow

Products are on the right - hand side. True for products.

Statement 5: Is on the left side of the arrow

Reactants are on the left - hand side. True for reactants.

Answer:

1. Reactants
2. Both
3. Both
4. Products
5. Reactants
