Answer:

6CO2+6H2O+heat" C6H12O6+6O2

the best way to balance a chemical reaction is to start with balancing the hydrogen followed by the other elements then lastly oxygen.so in this case if you put a 6 in front of carbon dioxide,water and oxygen you will definitely balance it.cause at the first side you have 6 carbons similar to the product,12 oxygen similar to the product and 18 oxygen similar to the products.

I hope this helps

Answer:

Explanation:

I saw this after answering your other question on the same reaction.

To balance the chemical reaction, look at the reactants and products. As O is part of both products, focus on C and H instead.

On the products side, 1 C6H12O6 has 6 C and 12 H. So that requires the same numbers of C and H on the reactant side because of mass conservation.

That gives 6 CO2 and 6 H2O as the reactants. Counting the number of O in the reactants, there are 6*2 + 6 = 18 O. Subtracting the 6 O in C6H12O6, that leaves 12 O so there are 12/2 = 6 O2 in the products.

Combining the numbers above, the balanced equation is:

___6___ CO₂ + ___6___ H₂O + heat ↔ ___1___ C₆H₁₂O₆ + ___6___ O₂
