Question

Green plants use light from the Sun to drive photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction in which water and carbon dioxide chemically react to form the simple sugar glucose and oxygen gas .

What mass of water is consumed by the reaction of of carbon dioxide?

Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer 1

Mass of water = 108 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water so, the mass of water will be,

Mass of water:

Mass of water = number of moles × molar mass

Mass of water = 6 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass of water = 108 g
