A balanced chemical equation is shown below

C6H1206 + 602-6H20 + 6CO2

Which of the following best describes the number of atoms for each element in the chemical equation?

A. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms on the reactant side and 6 carbon atoms, 12

hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms on the product side.

B. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 8 oxygen atoms on the reactant side and 6 carbon atoms, 12

hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms on the product side.

C. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms on the reactant side and 6 carbon atoms, 12

hydrogen atoms, and 3 oxygen atoms on the product side

D. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 12 oxygen atoms on the reactant side and 1 carbon atom, 2 hydrogen

atoms, and 3 oxygen atoms on the product side.

    The answer is A.

    Explanation:

    C6H12O6 + 6O2 - > 6CO2 + 6H20

    C6H12O6 + 6O2 - > 6CO2 + 6H20At the reactant side, there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms.

    atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms. At product side, there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms.

    (In a balanced equation, the no. of atoms on the reactant side must be equal to the no. of atoms on the product side)
