Answer:
The answer to your question is 0.5 moles
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
moles of Glucose = ?
moles of carbon dioxide = 3
Balanced chemical reaction
6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Process
To solve this problem, use proportions, and cross multiplication.
Use the coefficients of the balanced equation.
6 moles of CO₂ ----------------- 1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆
3 moles of CO₂ ---------------- x
x = (3 x 1) / 6
-Simplification
x = 3/6
-Result
x = 0.5 moles of Glucose
