The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Photosynthesis reactions in green plants use carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen. A plant has 88.0 g of carbon dioxide and 64.0 g of water available for photosynthesis. Determine the mass of glucose (C6H1206) produced
Answer: 60.0 g of glucose
Explanation:
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
a) moles of
b) moles of
According to stoichiometry :
6 moles of require = 6 moles of
Thus 2.0 moles of require=
of
Thus is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.
As 6 moles of give = 1 moles of glucose
Thus 2.0 moles of give =
of glucose
Mass of glucose =
Thus 60.0 g of glucose will be produced from 88.0 g of carbon dioxide and 64.0 g of water
