The given chemical equation:
C6H12O6 + O2 ⟶ 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
is unbalanced. To balance it, you need to ensure that there are the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.
Here's the balanced equation:
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ⟶ 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
Now, the equation is balanced with the same number of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms on both sides.
