Answer to Question #12741 in Chemistry for Molly

Question

The reaction for plant photosynthesis of glucose sugar and oxygen gas is:


__CO2(g) + __H2O(l) __C6H12O6(s) + __O2(g)

What is the mass of glucose (180.18 g/mol) produced from 2.20 g of CO2?

Answer 1

2.20 m
6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l) ---> C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6O₂
6*44 180.18

m = 2.20*180.18/(6*44) = 1.5015 g
