Which symbol equation correctly describes the reaction:

Wood (mostly glucose) burns in the presence of oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide?

A. C6H12O6+O2→H2O+CO2
B. O2→H2O+CO2+C6H12O6
C. C6H12O6→O2+H2O+CO2
D. O2+H2O→CO2+C6H12O6

Respuesta :

Answer:a

Explanation:I think

[tex]C_6H_{12}O_6+O_2[/tex] → [tex]H_2O+CO_2[/tex] equation correctly describes the reaction. Hence, option A is correct.

What is glucose?

Glucose is the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells.

Burning wood provides heat through the exothermic chemical reaction of oxygen (O) with cellulose ([tex]C_6H_{12}O_6[/tex]), the major chemical component of wood, to produce carbon dioxide ([tex]CO_2[/tex]), steam ([tex]H_2O[/tex]) and heat.

The chemical reaction describing the process is

[tex]C_6H_{12}O_6+O_2[/tex] → [tex]H_2O+CO_2[/tex] +heat

Hence, option A is correct.
