Question

How many moles of carbon dioxide can be produced if 3.0 moles of C6H6 react with

A) 9 moles
B) 6 moles
C) 3 moles
D) 12 moles

Answer 1

0.5 moles of glucose can be produced from 3.0 moles of carbon dioxide.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the moles of glucose produced from 3.0 moles of carbon dioxide, we can use the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis:

6 CO₂ + 6H₂O → C6H₁2O6 +6O₂

We can see from the equation that for every 6 moles of carbon dioxide, 1 mole of glucose is produced. Therefore, if we have 3.0 moles of carbon dioxide, we can calculate the moles of glucose produced by using a conversion factor:

3.0 moles CO₂ * (1 mole glucose / 6 moles CO₂) = 0.5 moles glucose

So, 0.5 moles of glucose can be produced from 3.0 moles of carbon dioxide.
