Does glucose react with water, and if it does whts the balanced equation? I know this is probably not possible since respiration uses glucose+ O but im not sure!

what about p-toluidine and water, benzoic acid acid+ water, 2-naphthol? thnx!

Glucose does not normally react with water. When placed in water the polarity of both the glucose and water molecules cause them to dissolve with each other, but no actual chemical reaction occurs. In other words, the glucose does not ionize or dissociate in this process.

No, what you have is basically sugar water. Water is polar and sugar is polar, so they are able to be mixed in with each other. The H poles of the water molecules are attracted to the O poles of the glucose molecules. Also, the H poles of the glucose molecules are attracted to the O poles of the water molecules. That is how they are mixed.

no it doesn't and there is no equation, u take chm138, eh? the only reactions are benzoic acid and naoh, benzoic acid and nahco3, 2-naphthol and naoh, 2-naphthol and nahco3 and p-toluidine and hcl. add me to yahoo messanger so we can compare answers: kb4ever3@yahoo.ca or msn kb4ever3@hotmail.com

I think you might be looking for the formula for photosynthesis. It is:
Sunlight + 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) --> C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (Oxygen gas)
All the numbers are subscripted.
