Question

Green plants use light from the Sun to drive photosynthesis, a chemical reaction in which liquid water and carbon dioxide gas form aqueous glucose C6H12O6

and oxygen O2
gas. Calculate the moles of water needed to produce 1.00mol
of glucose. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The photosynthetic equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2

According to this equation, 6 moles of water (H2O) is required to produce 1 mole of glucose
