c₆h₁₂o₆ (5 points)
a. 6
b. 12
c. 18
d. 24

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the formula

The formula is \(C_6H_{12}O_6\).

Step2: Calculate the number of atoms

For carbon (\(C\)): there are \(6\) atoms. For hydrogen (\(H\)): there are \(12\) atoms. For oxygen (\(O\)): there are \(6\) atoms.

Step3: Sum up the atoms

Total atoms \(=6 + 12+6=24\)

Answer:

A. molecules of reactants, D. 24
