Wood is made mostly of cellulose and has a chemical formula of C6H1005. Which of the following equations represents the cellulose combustion reaction?

Answer below

Explanation:

First to show combustion, you use O₂.

So   C₆H₁₀O₅ +  O₂ is the reaction.  Assuming complete combustion, all you get as products are CO₂ and H₂O.  Then you have to balance the full reaction.

C₆H₁₀O₅  +  6O₂  >  6CO₂  +  5H₂O

6 Carbons on each side

10 Hydrogens on each side

17 Oxygens on each side

i think that the answer is c

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8
