Question

If C6H12O6, reacts with oxygen, O2, to form CO2 and H2O. How much O2 (in moles) is required for the complete combustion of 6.76 mol of the sugar? (Please balance the equation)

Answer 1

C6 H12 O6 + O2  ------------------  CO2 + H2 O

C = 6 C = 1

H = 12 H = 2

O = 6+2 = 8 O = 2+1 = 3

Now, based on data, for complete combustion it requires 0.76 O2 molecules

C6 H12 O6 + O2  ------------------  CO2 + H2 O = 6.76 moles of sugar combusted.

then it gives, O = 6 + 0.76 = 6.76moles.
