Which of the statements below correctly describes the combustion of glucose, shown below? c6h12o6 + 6o2 → 6co2 + 6h2o?
1 answer:
I think I found the complete problem with the given choices. We know that O₂ is the oxidizing agent or the one that's reduced, while glucose is the reducing agent or the one that's oxidized. Following these information, the answer would be letter C, or the third choice.
The oxidation number of H before the reaction is -1, which became 1 after the reaction. The oxidation number increased, thus, H is the reducing agent.
