What is the balanced form of the chemical equation shown below?C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) H2O(l) + CO2(g)A.C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) 6H2O(l) + 6CO2(g)B.C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) 12H2O(l) + 6CO2(g)C.C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) H2O(l) + CO2(g)D.CH2O(s) + O2(g) H2O(l) + CO2(g)

The balanced form of the chemical equation is A. C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) -> 6H2O(l) + 6CO2(g).

Here's how you balance it:

1. Write down the unbalanced equation: C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) -> H2O(l) + CO2(g)
2. Balance the carbon atoms first. There are 6 carbon atoms on the left side (in C6H12O6), so you need 6 CO2 molecules on the right side to balance it: C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) -> H2O(l) + 6CO2(g)
3. Next, balance the hydrogen atoms. There are 12 hydrogen atoms on the left side (in C6H12O6), so you need 6 H2O molecules on the right side to balance it: C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) -> 6H2O(l) + 6CO2(g)
4. Finally, balance the oxygen atoms. There are 6 oxygen atoms in C6H12O6 and 2 in each O2 molecule on the left side, and there are 6 oxygen atoms in 6H2O and 12 in 6CO2 on the right side. So, you need 6 O2 molecules on the left side to balance it: C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) -> 6H2O(l) + 6CO2(g)

So, the correct answer is A. C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) -> 6H2O(l) + 6CO2(g).
