Question

what are reactants in the following chemical formula c6h12o6 + 6o2 = 6co2 + 6h2o

Answer 1

The reactants are the chemical constituents that exist before the chemical reaction to REACT; and the products are the chemical constituents that exist after the chemical reaction that are PRODUCED.

Therefore in the chemical reaction...
\[C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O\]
The reactants would be the C6H12O6 and the 6O2 molecules, otherwise known as a glucose (sugar monosaccharide) molecule and six (6) molecules of oxygen gas.

Answer 2

The reactants are glucose and oxygen.
