Answer:
on the right side, because it is a product
Explanation:
photosynthesis is the chemical reaction with the help of which plants produce chemical energy with the help of light energy.
_______________________________________________
The general standard for writing chemical reaction is that
- The chemical which are input to the process of chemical reaction are written on left hand side . They are known as reactant.
- The output of chemical reaction are written on right side. They are termed as product.
- Transition of reactant to product is shown by arrow.
Chemical reaction for photosynthesis is given by below equation
6CO2 + 12H2O + light ----------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
We can see that 6 molecules of light combines with 12 molecules of water to give one molecule of glucose and 6 molecules of both water and oxygen.
As, oxygen is the output of photosynthesis process, it is written on the right-hand side of equation and is product of this reaction.
.
Thus, of the options given below for
In an equation for photosynthesis does oxygen belong
on the right side, because it is a product
