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 carbon dioxide needed to produce 0.055mol of glucose. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis reaction is as follows: (CD + 6 1,0 CH,°C + 602 (ашле ) As per the reaction; 6 mol of Co are required to produce 1 ross 4 милом. moles of log required to produce 0.055 mol of glucose а 6xo-o55 мор а 0- 33 мog Hence, 0.33 mol of conbon dioxide are needed to produce 0.055 mol % 2ммола.
