Answer:
This question is incomplete; the remaining part is as follows:
What mass of simple sugar glucose is produced by the reaction of 6.48g of water?
The answer is 4.780g of glucose
Explanation:
Photosynthesis, as described in the question, is a chemical reaction in which water and carbon dioxide chemically react to form the simple sugar glucose and oxygen gas. The chemical reaction is as follows:
6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
6 moles of H2O will produce 1 mole of glucose
Using mole=mass/molar mass
Molar mass of CO2 = 44g/mol, C6H12O6 = 180g/mol
Mass of water used = 6mol × 44g/mol
= 244g
Mass of glucose produced = 1mol × 180g/mol = 180g
That is;
244g of H2O will produce 180g of glucose
Hence, 6.48g of H20 will produce:
= 6.48 × 180/244
= 4.780g of glucose
