Answer:
The answer to your question is: letter D
Explanation:
In a combustion reaction, the reactants are always a molecule with Carbon that reacts with oxygen and the products are carbon dioxide and water.
According to the explanation, the only possible solution is:
a) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g)
b) Mg(s) + C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ MgC₆H₁₂O₂(aq)
c) 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₂(l)
d) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) + 8 O₂(g) ⇒ 6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(g)
e) None of the above represent the combustion of C₆H₁₂O₂.
Answer : The balanced combustion reaction of [tex]C_6H_{12}O_2[/tex] will be:
[tex]C_6H_{12}O_2(l)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)[/tex]
Explanation :
Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.
Combustion reaction : A chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with the oxygen to give product as carbon dioxide and water.
The balanced combustion reaction of [tex]C_6H_{12}O_2[/tex] will be:
[tex]C_6H_{12}O_2(l)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)[/tex]
