Question

12) Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction where carbon dioxide and water react to form glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen gas. Which represents the proper balanced equations for photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Answer : The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$6CO_2+6H_2O\overset{sunlight}\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$

Explanation:

Photosynthesis : It is a type of chemical reaction that occurs in the green plants or living organism.

During the photosynthesis process, the carbon dioxide reacts with water in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen as a product.  

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$6CO_2+6H_2O\overset{sunlight}\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$

In the photosynthesis reaction, carbon dioxide and water molecule are the reactants and glucose and oxygen are the products.

Answer 2

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
