Question

The reaction for producing glucose in plants, called photosynthesis, is 6CO2+6H2O−→−−lightC6H12O6+6O2 If a plant produces 4.36 mol C6H12O6, how many moles of H2O are needed? moles H2O :The reaction for producing glucose in plants, called photosynthesis, is 6CO2+6H2O−→−−lightC6H12O6+6O2 If a plant produces 4.36 mol C6H12O6, how many moles of H2O are needed? moles H2O :

Answer 1

26.16 moles of water

Step-by-step explanation:

As per balanced equation given:

`6CO_(2)+6H_(2)O--->C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)`

Six moles carbon dioxide will react with six moles of water to give one mole of glucose

As per problem the moles of glucose produced = 4.36

so the moles of water required is = 6X4.36 =26.16 moles

the same number of moles of carbon dioxide will also be required.
