Glucose (C6H12O6) dissolved in water forms a homogeneous solution. Glucose molecules, consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, are surrounded by water molecules due to hydrogen bonding, creating a solute-solvent interaction, resulting in a dissolved state.
C6H12O6 is a sugar molecule composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). Glucose molecules are typically depicted as six carbon atoms arranged in a ring, with each carbon atom also bonded to hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The molecule is polar due to the presence of oxygen-hydrogen bonds, making it soluble in water.
In a water solution, individual glucose molecules would be surrounded by water molecules, with water's oxygen atoms interacting with the hydrogen atoms in the glucose molecule through hydrogen bonding. This forms a homogeneous mixture where glucose molecules are dispersed throughout the water, representing a dissolved state.
