    The balance reaction is C6H12O6+6O2=6CO2+6H2O

    Explanation:

    The reaction mentioned above is the reaction of cellular respiration. In this reaction glucose molecule reacts with oxygen to generate carbon dioxide, water and energy in form of ATP.

    In the left side there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms and the same number of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is present in the right side of the reaction mentioned above. Thus the reaction can be balanced.
