Question

How many grams of glucose(C6H12O6) are produced by 10.0 grams of water(H2O)?

Answer 1

Answer:

16.7 g of glucose

Explanation:

Convert grams of H₂O to moles.  0.555 mol

We can use the chemical equation to determine the theoretical yield.  Based on the equation, for every 6 moles of H₂O, 1 mole of glucose is produced.  The ratio of glucose moles to H₂O moles is 1/6.  

Multiply the moles of H₂O by the ratio to find moles of glucose.  0.0925 mol

Convert moles of glucose to grams.  16.7 g
