I believe it would be 30 because there are 24 atoms in one molecule of glucose and 6 atoms in three molecules of oxygen.

Answer;

30 atoms

Explanation;

When glucose, C6H12O6, reacts with oxygen it produces carbon dioxide and water. If a molecule of glucose reacts completely with three molecules of oxygen, then 30 atoms would be produced because there are 24 atoms in glucose and 6 atoms in oxygen molecules.

The equation for the reaction would be;

C6H12O6 + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l)
