When sugar is burned, water vapor and carbon dioxide are produced. a sugar molecule has a specific number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. use the balanced chemical equation to identify the number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in sugar. sugar + 12o2 ? 11h2o + 12co2

Number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in sugar:

Explanation:

1) Given balanced chemical equation:

2) Mass conservation law: in a chemical reaction, the atoms are not created nor destroyed; they recombine to form new substances, so the number of atoms of each kind in the reactants is equal to the number of atoms of the same kind in the products.

3) Balance.

Atom          Products                    =            Reactants

C                12CO₂ ⇒ 12               =             12 in sugar

H               11H₂O ⇒ 11 × 2 = 22   =             22 in sugar

O               12CO₂ ⇒ 12 × 2 = 24                12 × 2 = 24 in O₂ + x in sugar

                  11H₂O ⇒ 11

                  24 + 11 = 35                =         24 + x

Solve for x: 35 = 24 + x ⇒  x = 35 - 24 = 11 ∴ 11 O atoms in sugar

Conclusion:

Number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in sugar:

Sugar has  ✔ 12  carbon atoms.

Sugar has  ✔ 22  hydrogen atoms.

Sugar has  ✔ 11 oxygen atoms.

hope it helps !! correct on edge :)

false br

beta is electron from nucleus

something from nucleus has changed, but charge must be same for cons of charge
