When crystalline C6H12O6 is burned in oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor are formed
The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of crystalline C6H12O6 (glucose) in oxygen is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O
This means that for every molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) that is burned, six molecules of oxygen (O2) are consumed, resulting in the formation of six molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and six molecules of water vapor (H2O).
