Question

Mrs. zerlinsky wrote a chemical equation on the board and asked her class what should be changed to make it correct. she wrote: water glucose → carbon dioxide oxygen energy what should be changed to show the correct chemical reaction?

Answer 1

Glucose + oxygen = Water + carbon dioxide + energy

Answer 2

Answer: The correct chemical reaction is written below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical equation is defined as the equation in which chemical substances are written on both the sides of the reaction. The reactants are written on the left side of the reaction arrow ad products are written on the right side of the reaction arrow.

If more than 1 chemical species is present, a '+' sign is added between the species.

The given chemical equation has a '+' sign missing. So, the chemical equation follows:

`\text{Water + Glucose}\rightarrow \text{Carbon dioxide + Oxygen + Energy}`

Hence, the correct chemical reaction is written above.
