The chemical formula of sugar (sucrose) is C12H22O11\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}. When sugar burns, it combines with oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide and water. Write and balance the chemical reaction for the combustion of sucrose. Then calculate:

How many grams of water are produced from completely burning 5.0 g5.0\text{ g} of sucrose? (The molar mass of sucrose is 342.30gmol342.30\tiny\dfrac{\text{g}}{\text{mol}}.)
