Answer:The process of photosynthesis in plants converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The balanced equation for this reaction is:
6 CO2 + 6 H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
This equation tells us that for every 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) that are consumed, 1 molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) is produced, along with 6 molecules of oxygen (O2).
Given that we have 760.0 grams of carbon dioxide and a sufficient amount of water, we can use the balanced equation and the molar mass of glucose to calculate the amount of glucose that will be produced.
First, we need to convert the given amount of carbon dioxide to moles. We can do this by using the molar mass of carbon dioxide, which is 44.01 g/mol.
760.0 g CO2 / 44.01 g/mol = 17.3 moles CO2
Next, we can use the balanced equation to determine the number of moles of glucose that will be produced. Since the ratio of CO2 to glucose is 6:1, for every 6 moles of CO2, 1 mole of glucose will be produced.
17.3 moles CO2 / 6 = 2.88 moles glucose
Finally, we can convert the number of moles of glucose to grams using the molar mass of glucose, which is 180.16 g/mol
2.88 moles glucose * 180.16 g/mol = 517.3 grams glucose
Therefore, plants will produce 517.3 grams of glucose using 760.0 grams of carbon dioxide and a sufficient amount of water.
