    The burning of glucose in presence of oxygen is called as combustion

    The balanced reaction is

    C6H12O6 + 6O2 - --> 6CO2 + 6H2O

    Thus for each mole of glucose we need six moles of oxygen molecules

    molar mass of glucose is 180g / mole

    The moles of glucose present = mass / molar mass = 180 / 180 = 1 mole

    The moles of oxygen present = mass / molar mass = 192 / 32 = 6 moles

    Thus the reaction will go to completion and one mole of glucose will react with six moles of O2 to give six moles of CO2 and six moles of H2O

    Mass of CO2 produced = moles X molar mass = 6 x 44 = 264 g

    Mass of H2O produced = moles X molar mass = 6 x 18 = 108 g
