C6H12O6 + 602 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ENERGY a)identify the substance(s) being oxidized b)identify the substance being reduced

OpenStudy (zale101):

It is a synthesis reaction . the reaction is called cellular respiration as it produces energy for the body to use for activity. C6H12O6 + 6O2 --------> 6H2O + 6CO2 (+ ENERGY) C6H12O6 + 6O2 - - - - - - -> 6CO2 + 6H20 + 38ATP Glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy

Well first of all I know that glucose is getting oxidized to carbon dioxide... guess the rest then ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O2 is reduced? right?

Right.

THANKS!

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Remember that water is also reduced.

OpenStudy (frostbite):

In a RedOx reaction there is both reduction and oxidation on both sides.
