Question

The balanced equation for photosynthesis is shown below.

6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2

What best explains whether mass is conserved or not during photosynthesis?

It is not conserved because the total number of H atoms is 6 more than the total number of C atoms.
It is not conserved because the total number of O atoms is 6 more than the total number of H atoms.
It is conserved because the total number of H atoms on each side is 12.
It is conserved because the total number of O atoms on each side is 2.

Answer 1

The answer is C. It is conserved because the total number of H atoms on each side is 12.

Hope This Helps!

Answer 2

the true answer is: It's conserved because the total number of H atoms on each side is 12.
the first two answer is wrong because it's conserved not as mentioned, It's not conserved.

and the last one also wrong because the total number of O atoms are equal at the two sides but not equal 2.
