C6H12O6+6O2=6CO2+6H2O

Question

How many grams of sucrose required to produce 345.7mL of a 4.36M H2O

Answer 1

You are given a correctly balanced equation: C₆H₁₂O₅ + 6O₂ ==> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

However, the question is not valid for several reasons. First, it asks how many grams of sucrose are required, when sucrose is not even involved in this chemical reaction. Sucrose has the formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ and what this reaction uses is glucose, C6H12O6. While it is true that sucrose can be broken down to produce glucose, I doubt that this was the intent of the question.

Second problem is that water doesn't have a varying molarity, especially in introductory chemistry. It is 55.5 M, so to produce 345.7 ml of 4.36 M H₂O doesn't seem correct.
