What are the reactant(s)in the following chemical reaction? C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 H₂O + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 12 H₂O

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In chemical equations, the reactants are the substances on the left side of the arrow and the products are the substances on the right side of the arrow. In this equation, the reactants are C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose), 6 H₂O (water), and 6 O₂ (oxygen). The products are 6 CO₂ (carbon dioxide) and 12 H₂O (water). Choice A is incorrect because CO₂ and H₂O are products, not reactants. Choice C is incorrect because O₂ is a reactant in this equation, not an inert gas. Choice D includes both reactants and products, which is not necessary when identifying the reactants in the equation.
