Balance the reaction of c6h12o6 (s) + o2 (g) = co2 (g) + h2o (l)

6CO2 + 7H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2 + H2O

Explanation:

CO2 + H2O = C6H12O6 + O2 + H2O

Starting carbon atoms,

1C on reactants and 6C on products,

therefore you should start by putting a 6 on CO2

6CO2 + H2O = C6H12O6 + O2 + H2O

Proceed with Hydrogen,

Reactants → 2H

Products → 14H

You should multiply H2O with 7.

6CO2 + 7H2O = C6H12O6 + O2 + H2O

the we need to proceed for Oxygen,

Reactants → 12 + 7 = 19O

Products → 6 O in C6H12O6, 2O in O2 and 1O in H2O

we need to balance the equation without disrupting the balance of other atoms, so we need to Multiply O2 with 6

The required balanced equation is

6CO2 + 7H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2 + H2O
