There are 6 molecules of carbon dioxide involved in this reaction.
There is 1 molecule of sugar produced in this reaction.
There are 6 atoms of carbon on the left-hand side of the equation.
There are 6 atoms of carbon on the right-hand side of the equation.
The carbon is balanced.
There are 12 atoms of hydrogen on the left-hand side of the equation.
There are 12 atoms of hydrogen on the right-hand side of the equation.
The hydrogen is balanced.
There are 18 atoms of oxygen on the left-hand side of the equation.
There are 18 atoms of oxygen on the right-hand side of the equation.
The oxygen is balanced.
To balance the chemical equation, one could adjust the coefficient of oxygen on the left-hand side to be 5 instead of 6. This would result in the following balanced equation:
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 5O2
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 4O2
