Question

The overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis is shown below: 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

What mass of glucose (C6H12O6) can form from 71.89 g CO2? (Molar mass of C6H12O6 = 180.18 g/mol; molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol)

Answer 1

If you need help reading it just ask.

Answer 2

Answer: 49.05 g

Step-by-step explanation:
`6CO_2+6H_2O\rightarrow C_6H_(12)O_6+6O_2`

Given: Molar mass of
`C_6H_(12)O_6`= 180.18 g/mol

Molar mass of
`CO_2` = 44.01 g/mol

From the given balanced equation:

6 moles of carbon dioxide
`(CO_2)` produce 1 mole of glucose
`(C_6H_(12)O_6)`

`6* 44.01=264.06g` of carbon dioxide
`(CO_2)` produce 180.18 of glucose
`(C_6H_(12)O_6)`

71.89 g of carbon dioxide
`(CO_2)` produce=
`(180.18)/(264.06)* 71.89=49.05g` of glucose
`(C_6H_(12)O_6)`
