Answer:
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
