Consider the reactions. ...

Consider the reactions. a) `6 CO_2(g)+6 H_2 O(l) rarr C_6 H_(12) O_6(aq)+6 O_2(g)`
b) `O_3(g)+H_2 O_2(l) rarr H_2 O_2(l)+2 O_2(g)`
Why it is more appropriate to write these reactions as:
a) `6 CO_2(g)+12 H_2 O(l) rarr C_6 H_12 O_6(aq)+6 H_2 O(l)+6 O_2(g)`
b) `O_3(g)+H_2 O_2(l) rarr H_2 O(l)+O_2(g)+O_2(g)`
Also suggest a technique to investigate the path of the above (a) and (b) redox reactions.
