Answer:

It is greater than the mass of oxygen formed.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process of using light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen.

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⟶ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Mass of CO₂ + H₂O = mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Subtract the mass of glucose from the right-hand side but not the left. Then

Mass of CO₂ + H₂O > mass of O₂

A is wrong, because glucose is formed, not used.

Bb is wrong, because oxygen is formed, not used.

C is wrong, because the total mass of reactants is greater than just one of the products.

Finger [1]

The purpose of an universal indicator is to test wether a solution is acid or if its a base. It changes colors according to the PH's. It helps a lot in the indication of a chemical reaction because it can say if each component loses or gains protons depending upon the acidity or basicity of the solution being tested.An universal indicator can say if a determined solution proves to be endothermic or exothermic. If the solution is not tested as acid or base then we cannot knwo if there will be an endothermic reaction or an exhotermic one
