When sugar is burned, water vapor and carbon dioxide are produced.

a sugar molecule has a specific number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. use the balanced chemical equation to identify the number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in sugar.

sugar + 12o2 → 11h2o + 12co2

sugar has carbon atoms.

sugar has hydrogen atoms.

sugar has oxygen atom

Answer;

12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms.

Explanation:

Using a balanced chemical equation we can identify the number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in sugar.

CxHyOn + 12O₂  → 11 H₂O + 12CO₂

When an equation is completely balanced, then the number of each atom of an element is equal on the reactant side and the product side.

Therefore;

For carbon; x = 12

For Hydrogen; y = (11×2) = 22

For Oxygen; n + (12×2) = 11 + (12×2)

                    = n + 24 = 11 + 24

                        n = 11

Therefore the sugar has, 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms.

Thus the balanced equation would be;

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + 12O₂  → 11 H₂O + 12CO₂
