$C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} (s) + 6 O_{2} (g) \to 6 C O_{2} (g) + 6 H_{2} O (g)$ $C_(color(red)(6))H_(color(blue)(12))O_6(s) +color(green)(6)O_2(g)->color(red)(6)CO_(color(green)(2))(g) + color(blue)(6)H_(color(blue)(2))O(g)$

Explanation:

The complete combustion of glucose will give carbon dioxide and water, therefore, the balanced chemical equation can be written as:

$C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} (s) + 6 O_{2} (g) \to 6 C O_{2} (g) + 6 H_{2} O (g)$ $C_(color(red)(6))H_(color(blue)(12))O_6(s) +color(green)(6)O_2(g)->color(red)(6)CO_(color(green)(2))(g) + color(blue)(6)H_(color(blue)(2))O(g)$
