Answer:
C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
Explanation:
The equation for the reaction is given below:
C6H12O6 —> C2H5OH + CO2
We can balance the equation above as follow:
There are 12 atoms of H on the left side and 6 atoms of the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of C2H5OH as shown below:
C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + CO2
There are 6 atoms of C on the left side and 5 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of CO2 as shown below:
C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
Now the equation is balanced.
<span>In H2CO, C is bonded to H, H and O. Write down the valence electrons of each element.
2 H = 1x 2 = 2.
C= 4
O = 6
Total 12 </span>
The mass percentage is 15.1465%.
The answer would be 0.288827452320528
