Question

This equation shows a ____ refer to this summary equation of photosynthesis to complete the sentences about chemical bonds and reactions. 6 co2 + 6 h2o → c6h12o6 + 6 o2

Answer 1

The balanced chemical equation representing the process of photosynthesis is:

$6 CO_{2} +12H_{2}O-->C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}$

The reactants in the process of photosynthesis are $CO_{2}$and H$H_{2}O$ and the products of the reaction are glucose $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$ and oxygen $O_{2}$. Oxygen is the nonpolar covalent gas which is released in the process of photosynthesis. The reactant $CO_{2}$ is a nonpolar covalent gas while the other reactant water$H_{2}O$ has polar covalent O-H bonds.

In the balanced chemical equation, the number of each type of element must be equal on both sides of the reaction.
