Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is balanced if there are the same number of atoms of an element on each side of the reaction arrow.

Let's count the atoms on each side of the reaction arrow.

Atom On the left On the right

C 6 1

H 12 2

O 8 3

Every element has a different number of atoms on each side of the reaction arrow.

The equation is not balanced.
