Chapter 2.3, Problem 1R

Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The chemical equation by adding correct stoichiometric coefficients.

${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}+{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\to {\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}+{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$

Introduction:

The universal rule of nature is that energy can neither be created nor destroyed as it gets transformed from one form to another. In accordance with this statement, a chemical reaction must contain an equal number of respective elements, before and start of the reaction. The addition of the numbers (stoichiometric coefficients) to the elements in order to balance them is called as the balancing of an equation.
