. In photosynthesis, plants use energy from the sun in combination with carbon dioxide and water to form glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen. If 4.50 moles of water react with carbon dioxide, what mass of glucose is produced?

Respuesta :

The equation for photosynthesis states that the combination of carbon dioxide, water and light energy produces a carbohydrate (glucose) and oxygen.
6 CO2 +6 H2O + Light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2
Therefore, from the equation 6 moles of water yields 1 mole of glucose
Hence; 4.5 moles of water will produce; 4.5/6 = 0.75 moles of glucose.
1 mole of glucose weighs 180 g
0.75 mole will contain; 180/0.75 = 135 g
