Consider the following reaction.

c6h12o6+c6h12o6 -- c12h22o11

a. the equation is not balanced; it is missing a molecule of water. write it in on the correct side of the equation.
b. what kind of reaction is this?
c. is c6h12o6 (glucose) a monomer, or a polymer?
d. to summarize, when two monomers are joined, a molecule of is always removed.

a)

b) condensation reaction

c) monomer

d) water

Explanation:

a) The balanced equation is:

b) In the given reaction two molecules of glucose combine to form maltose along with a molecule of water. Reactions in which smaller molecules combine to form a larger molecule along with water as byproduct are typical of condensation reactions.

c)Glucose is a monomer which combines to form a polymer; maltose.

d) To summarize, when two monomers are joined, a molecule of water is always removed.

chemical properties are the characteristic of matter which can only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a sample like flammability reactivity and toxicity.
