YES!!!
However, it is NOT an hydrocarbon, because it contains oxygen.
NB When writing chemical formula ; -
#1 ; One letter elemental symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter . Hence carbons is 'C' not 'c'. etc.,
#2 ; A two letter elemental symbol is written as , first letter is a capital letter and the second letter is small/lower case. e.g. Na ( Sodium).
The covalent compound O2 is called oxygen gas.
In a combustion reaction, one of the reactants is typically an organic compound (hydrocarbon) such as a fuel like methane, propane, or gasoline. This organic compound reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and heat as products.
O is an atom, but O2 is a molecule.
O2, also known as oxygen, is an iconic compound. It is essential for respiration and is one of the most abundant elements on Earth.
Oxygen (O) is an element, while O2 is a molecule composed of two oxygen atoms bonded together. So, O2 is a molecule, not a compound.
Oxygen (O2) and Glucose (C6 H12 O6)
Well as respiration is an energy producing process in which : Glucose ( C6 H12 O6 ) Reacts with Oxygen ( O2 ) to Produce Energy and Carbon Dioxide ( CO2 ) and Water ( H2O ) the equation (unbalanced) is : ( C6 H12 O6 ) + ( O2 ) -------------> ( CO2 ) + ( H2O ) + <energy>
no
Organic compounds contain Carbon and usually Hydrogen too.
Fermentation.
In photosynthesis, solar energy or sunlight is converted to chemical energy. The chemical energy is stored in the form of glucose (sugar). Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight are used to produce glucose, oxygen, and water. The chemical equation for this process is: 6CO2 + 12H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
Respiration means breathing. You're probably doing it now;-) Respiration also has another meaning, though the two functions are connected closely. Breathing (respiration) is a physical exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide). The formula, however, is: glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy. Hope i helped! :)
This is called cellular respiration it is the inverse of photosynthisis the process consists of the converson of a simple sugar (consisting of the compound C6-H12-O6) molecle and six molecules of oxygen (6 O2) and breaking the C6-H12-O6 and 6 O2 into 6 CO2 and 6H2O by deviding the additional six molecules of oxygen into the mix causes the six carbon atoms to combine to their structures froming six carbon dioxide molecules(6 CO2) without the carbon the H12-06 to return to a more natural group water (6 H2O) and with the breakdown oth those molecules energy is releasedrespirationRespiration asGLUCOSE + OXYGEN = ENERGY + CARBON DIOXIDE + WATEROf course, this is known as Aerobic Respiration since Oxygen is involved.Cellular Respiration
In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen create carbon dioxide, water, and energy, or ATP. The chemical equation for this process is C6 H12 O6 plus O2 → CO2 plus H2O plus Energy (ATP).
The primary byproduct of photosynthesis is glucose, a simple sugar that plants use as a source of energy. Oxygen is also produced as a waste product during photosynthesis, which is released into the atmosphere.
This is the basic exact opposite of the equation for photosynthesis which is Photosynthesis---->6C O2 + 6H2 O + Sunlight = C6 H12 O6 + 6o2 Respiration-----> C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 = 6H2 O + 6C O2 + Energy
through a process called photosynthesis in which light, water and carbon dioxide are absorbed by the plant, and the bond to form glucose and oxygen h2o + co2 --> c6 h12 o6 + o2 sunlight is absorbed by a chemical called chlorophyll
