Solution

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows:
$C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2} ⟶ 6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O + e n e r g y$
This type of combination reaction is called combustion reaction , because a combustion reaction is said to be occurred when oxygen combines with another compound to form carbon dioxide , water and energy.
Example for combustion reaction: Burning of naphthalene, combustion of methane, ethane etc.
