1 point What would the balanced equation be for the following reaction? C_(6)H_(12)+O_(2) C_(6)H_(12)+9O_(2)... 6CO_(2)+6H_(2)O C_(6)H_(12)+O_(2)... C_(6)H_(12)O C_(6)H_(12)+O_(2)... C_(6)O_(2)+H_(12) C_(6)H_(12)+O_(2)... CO_(2)+H_(2)O

## Step 1: Identify the correct balanced equation. A balanced chemical equation ensures that the law of conservation of mass is upheld, meaning the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation.## Step 2: Evaluate each option. The first option is . This equation is balanced because there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 18 oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation.The second option is . This equation is not balanced because there are 2 oxygen atoms on the left side and only 1 on the right side.The third option is . This equation is not balanced because there are 2 oxygen atoms on the left side and only 2 on the right side, but there are 12 hydrogen atoms on the left side and only 1 on the right side.The fourth option is . This equation is not balanced because there are 6 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms on the left side, but only 1 carbon atom and 2 hydrogen atoms on the right side.
