Which of the following statements describes the results of this reaction? c6h12o6 + 6 o2 → 6 co2 + 6 h2o + energy a) c6h12o6 is oxidized and o2 is reduced. b) o2 is oxidized and h2o is reduced. c) co2 is reduced and o2 is oxidized. d) c6h12o6is reduced and co2 is oxidized. e) o2 is reduced and co2 is oxidized.

The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation:

Oxidation : A chemical reaction in which addition of oxygen occurs or removal of hydrogen occurs is called oxidation.

Reduction:A chemical reaction in which elimination of oxygen occurs or addition of hydrogen occurs is called reduction.

In a given reaction,:

The glucose molecule is getting oxidized into carbon-dioxide. Before oxidation in glucose molecule ratio of carbon and oxygen atom was 1:1 which changes to 1:2 after oxidation of glucose into carbon-dioxide.

Hence,  is getting oxidized.

The oxygen molecule is reduced because addition of hydrogen atoms are taking place in oxygen molecules which gives water after reduction.

Hence, is getting reduced.

So, correct answer is option (A).

True, the standard unit for volume is liters which can be represented by either a lower case "l" or a capital "l"

Ithink that the use of creativity in the sciences entails that one produce something out of nothing or from another thing. with this, i think that the he wrote down his results as four parts of the atomic theory is the manifestation of the  creativity of john dalton.
