Question

This equation shows a ____ refer to this summary equation of photosynthesis to complete the sentences about chemical bonds and reactions. 6 co2 + 6 h2o → c6h12o6 + 6 o2

Answer 1

The balanced chemical equation representing the process of photosynthesis is:

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

The reactants in the process of photosynthesis are
`CO_(2)`and H
`H_(2)O` and the products of the reaction are glucose
`C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)` and oxygen
`O_(2)`. Oxygen is the nonpolar covalent gas which is released in the process of photosynthesis. The reactant
`CO_(2)` is a nonpolar covalent gas while the other reactant water
`H_(2)O` has polar covalent O-H bonds.

In the balanced chemical equation, the number of each type of element must be equal on both sides of the reaction.
