Answer:

12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms.

Explanation:

Using a balanced chemical equation we can identify the number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in sugar.

CxHyOn + 12O₂ → 11 H₂O + 12CO₂

when an equation is completely balanced, then the number of each atom of an element is equal on the reactant side and the product side.

Therefore;

For carbon; x = 12

For Hydrogen; y = (11×2) = 22

For Oxygen; n + (12×2) = 11 + (12×2)

= n + 24 = 11 + 24

n = 11

Therefore the sugar has, 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms.

Thus the balanced equation would be;

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + 12O₂ → 11 H₂O + 12CO₂
