The rate of photosynthesis was measured by counting the amount of oxygen, a product of photosynthesis, generated by the plant. When the plant placed closer to the light source in a given time it generated more bubbles than when it was placed farther away from the light source.
Equation for the standard formation of solid sodium orthosilicate:
4 Na(s) + Si(s) + 2 O₂(g) → Na₄SiO₄(s)
