Answer:

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

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process by which plants and other autotrophic organisms make their own food.

In the process of photosynthesis, chlorophyll traps the light energy of the sun and this energy is used for the synthesis of glucose from carbon dioxide and water. In this process oxygen is released as byproduct.

The balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is:

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

So, in the process of photosynthesis, light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of glucose.
