Answer:

16.7 g of glucose

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert grams of H₂O to moles. 0.555 mol

We can use the chemical equation to determine the theoretical yield. Based on the equation, for every 6 moles of H₂O, 1 mole of glucose is produced. The ratio of glucose moles to H₂O moles is 1/6.

Multiply the moles of H₂O by the ratio to find moles of glucose. 0.0925 mol

Convert moles of glucose to grams. 16.7 g
