Your source is incorrect, it is impossible to make this a structural formula. You may mean C6H12O6 (glucose). I had a booklet with C2H12O6 as a spelling error.
It's a two-step process: 1) Sugar (sucrose) is broken down into two molecules of glucose. C12H22O11 + H2O + invertase----> 2C6H12O6 2) The two glucose molecules are broken down into ethanol and carbon dioxide. 2C6H12O6 + Zymase ----> 4C2H5OH + 4CO2 You can find out more by going to the Ethanol fermentation article on Wikipedia.
6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, 6 oxygen atoms.
6 molecules of water
12 molecules of carbon 24 of hydrogen 12 of oxygen

To answer this kind of question, multiply the coefficient, 2, by the subscript after the atomic symbol for hydrogen, H, to obtain 24 hydrogen atoms.
Hydrolysis is the type of reaction occurring when complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones by the addition of water.Example:Hydrolysis of a molecule of a disaccharide, such as sucrose, into two molecules of a monosaccharide, such as glucose.C12H22O11 + H2O ---> 2C6H12O6
