C6H12O6 (s) + 6O2 = 6Co2 (g) + 6H20 (l)

Explanation:

Combustion of glucose is the burning of glucose in the presence of oxidant, oxygen. It an high temperature exothermic reaction, that is heat is given out. A flame is a characteristic that combustion take place. For combustion to take place, the activation energy must be overcome. The combustion of glucose in oxygen to produce carbondioxide and water release 2803KJ per glucose.
