Cellular Respiration Balanced Equation||Balanced Equation for Cellular Respiration
Today we are going to balance respiration reaction in just five steps.
Here is the respiration reaction.
C₆H₁₂O₆ +O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Step-1:
Write the equation like this and count atoms from both sides.
C₆H₁₂O₆ +O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Reatants Products
C → 6 C → 1
O → 6 +2 =8 O→ 2 + 1 =3
H → 12 H→ 2
Step-2:
Balance carbon first.Then update oxygen number.
C₆H₁₂O₆ +O₂ → 6CO₂ + H₂O
Reatants Products
C→ 6 C→ 1×6=6
O→ 6 +2 =8 O→6×2+1=13
H → 12 H→ 2
Step-3:
Now balance hydrogen .Then update oxygen.
C₆H₁₂O₆ +O₂ → 6CO₂ +6 H₂O
Reatants Products
C→ 6 C→ 1×6=6
O→ 6 +2 =8 O→6×2+6 =18
H → 12 H→ 2×6=12
Step-4:
Now balance oxygen atoms.
C₆H₁₂O₆ +6O₂ → 6CO₂ +6 H₂O
Reatants Products
C→ 6 C→ 1×6=6
O→ 6+2×6=18 O→6×2+6 =18
H → 12 H→ 2×6=12
Step-5:
Now change arrow sign→to equal sign (=).
C₆H₁₂O₆ +6O₂= 6CO₂ +6H₂O
The above equation is balanced equation for respiration.
Notice that each side of the equation have 6C,12H, 18 O.
