The balanced equation for the generation of sugar from sunlight water and co2 is
asambeis [7]

The balanced equation for the generation of sugar from sunlight water and CO₂ is

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

carbon dioxide + water → sugar + oxygen

<span>The process of photosynthesis occurs when the chlorophyll present in the leaves of plants absorb sunlight to make food in the presence of carbon dioxide (enters through the stomata of leaves) and water (absorbed from the roots). As a result of this reaction sugar and oxygen is formed. After that sugar is converted in to starch and oxygen is released into air.</span>

CH3OCH3 (ether) will dissolve in water because
dangina [55]

Answer:

a. polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents.

Explanation:

Polarity is a phenomenon that has to do with the positive and negative electric (ionic) charges of a molecule. A molecule with distinct positive and electric charge is said to be POLAR. However, water is said to be a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other solvent can.

This solvent property of water is a function of its POLARITY. Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents. Hence, only polar solutes can dissolve in water (a polar solvent). Hence, in this case, CH3OCH3 (ether) will dissolve in water because it is a POLAR molecule/solute.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles within the atom.

  When the number of protons and electrons are the same or equal, the atom is neutral.

But when there is an imbalance, an ion results.
