The overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis is shown below: 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What mass of glucose (C6H12O6) can form from 71.89 g CO2? (Molar mass of C6H12O6 = 180.18 g/mol; molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol)

Answer: 49.05 g

Explanation: [tex]6CO_2+6H_2O\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2[/tex]

Given: Molar mass of [tex]C_6H_{12}O_6[/tex]= 180.18 g/mol

Molar mass of [tex]CO_2[/tex] = 44.01 g/mol

From the given balanced equation:

6 moles of carbon dioxide [tex](CO_2)[/tex] produce 1 mole of glucose [tex](C_6H_{12}O_6)[/tex]

[tex]6\times 44.01=264.06g[/tex] of carbon dioxide[tex](CO_2)[/tex] produce 180.18 of glucose [tex](C_6H_{12}O_6)[/tex]

71.89 g of carbon dioxide[tex](CO_2)[/tex] produce=[tex]\frac{180.18}{264.06}\times 71.89=49.05g[/tex] of glucose [tex](C_6H_{12}O_6)[/tex]
