Asked by Henry
A student writes the equation that summarizes respiration incorrectly
C_6 H_12 O_6 + 6O_2 ----> 3CO + 3CO_2 + 6H_2O
Which of the following statements correctly identifies the mistake in balancing the equation?
a. Not enough oxygen atoms are created in the products
b. Not enough carbon atoms appear in the products
c. Too many hydrogen atoms appear in the products
d. Too many oxygen atoms are created in the products
I am not that confident with this topic but I believe it is A. Though clarification would be great :)
