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 2.40mol of glucose. be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.

Answer 1

If we talk about the balanced chemical equation of photosynthesis  the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, convert into a glucose (sugar molecule) and six oxygen molecules, the products d by the light energy captured by chlorophyll.

which means, one mole of glucose can be produced by six mole of carbon dioxide.

or can say that, six moles of carbon dioxide molecules will be needed to produce one mole of glucose.

6(number of moles of carbon dioxide) = 1(number of moles of glucose)

number of moles of carbon dioxide = (number of moles of glucose)/6

We are given with,

Number of moles of glucose produced = 2.4 moles

number of moles of carbon dioxide = 2.4/6

number of moles of carbon dioxide = 0.4 moles
