Answer:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ = 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
2 KO₂ + H₂O = 2 KOH + 1.5 O₂
Explanation:
Let's consider the following unbalanced equation.
C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ = CO₂ + H₂O
We will start balancing H atoms (higher atomicity) by multiplying H₂O by 6.
C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ = CO₂ + 6 H₂O
Then, we will balance C atoms by multiplying CO₂ by 6.
C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ = 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
Finally, to get the balanced equation, we will multiply O₂ by 6.
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ = 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Let's consider the following unbalanced equation.
KO₂ + H₂O = KOH + O₂
We will multiply KO₂ and KOH by 2 to balance K and H atoms.
2 KO₂ + H₂O = 2 KOH + O₂
Finally, to get the balanced equation, we will multiply O₂ by 1.5.
2 KO₂ + H₂O = 2 KOH + 1.5 O₂
