Question

Predict the products for the reaction of burning sucrose, C12H22O11(s), with excess oxygen, O2(g)

Answer 1

Answer:

C)12CO₂(g), 11H₂O(g)

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, when sucrose us burned with oxygen a combustion chemical reaction is undergone, causing the release of carbon dioxide and water as shown below:

$C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2O(g)$

Which must the balanced as shown below:

$C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}(s)+12O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+11H_2O(g)$

Therefore, such burning yield 12 molecules of carbon dioxide and 11 molecules of water, thereby the answer is:

C)12CO₂(g), 11H₂O(g)

Best regards.
