Answer to Question #246435 in General Chemistry for Achu

Question

c6h12o6 - c2h2oh + co2

Answer 1

C₆H₁₂O₆ (aq) → 2 C₂H₅OH (aq) + 2 CO₂ (g)

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

4 C⁰ + 8 e^- → 4 C^-II

(reduction)

2 C⁰ - 8 e^- → 2 C^IV

(oxidation)

C₆H₁₂O₆ is both an oxidizing and a reducing agent (disproportionation (dismutation)).

This is a gas evolution reaction, CO₂ is the formed gas.
