The chemical reaction shown is called photosynthesis. It involves water reacting with carbon

dioxide to produce glucose (see formulae below) and another gas. The chlorophyll in leaves
acts as a catalyst. ON A PIECE OF PAPER. Write a (BN level) word equation. (G Level)

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A word equation refers to a representation of a chemical process using word rather than appropriate chemical formulae.

Hence, the word equation for photosynthesis is this;

six moles of carbon dioxide + six moles of water -----> one mole of glucose + six moles of oxygen gas

The equation with formulae is;

6CO2 + 6H20 -------> C6H1206 + 6O2

Balanced chemical equation with states;

6CO2(g) + 6H20(l) -------> C6H1206(s) + 6O2(g)
