Question

g Green plants use light from the Sun to drive photosynthesis, a chemical reaction in which liquid water and carbon dioxide gas form aqueous glucose and oxygen gas. Calculate the moles of oxygen produced by the reaction of 0.10 of water. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.10 moles of oxygen produced by the reaction of 0.10 of water.

Explanation:

The photosynthesis reaction is given by :

$6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6(aq)+ 6O_2(g)$

Moles of water = 0.10 mole

According to reaction, 6 moles of water gives 6 moles of oxygen gas,then 0.10 moles of water will give :

$\frac{6}{6}\times 0.10 mol=0.10 mol$ of oxygen gas

0.10 moles of oxygen produced by the reaction of 0.10 of water.
