Answer:
C_6H_(12)O_6(s)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Combustion of glucose is represented by following balanced equation:


C_6H_(12)O_6(s)+6O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)

where (s) represents solid state, (g) represents gaseous state and (l) represents liquid state.

I am thinking that you are asking for the balanced equation for this chemical reaction. In order to balance this, you have to count each element where the elements in the reactants side and the product side should have equal number of molecules. The balanced reaction is as follows:

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) = 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)
