C6H12O6 + 602 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ENERGY a)identify the substance(s) being oxidized b)identify the substance being reduced
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
@jahvoan
look at the question i asked
Oxidation: Removal of hydrogen - addition of oxygen. Reduction: Addition of hydrogen - removal of oxygen. Take make a guess :)
what do get?
what do you get?
Well first of all I know that glucose is getting oxidized to carbon dioxide... guess the rest then ;)
O2 is reduced? right?
Right.
THANKS!
Remember that water is also reduced.
In a RedOx reaction there is both reduction and oxidation on both sides.
