<span>The equation that represents the process of photosynthesis
is: </span>
<span>
</span>
<span>6CO2+12H2O+light->C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O</span>
<span>
</span>
<span>Photosynthesis is the
process in plants to make their food. This involves the use carbon dioxide to
react with water and make sugar or glucose as the main product and oxygen as a
by-product. Since we are not given the mass of CO2 in this problem, we assume that we have 1 g of CO2 available. We calculate as follows:</span>
<span>
</span>
<span>1 g CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2 ) ( 12 mol H2O / 6 mol CO2 ) ( 18.02 g / 1 mol ) = 0.82 g of H2O is needed</span>
<span>
</span>
However, if the amount given of CO2 is not one gram, then you can simply change the starting value in the calculation and solve for the mass of water needed.

Answer: No
Explanation: It's not balanced because four oxygen atoms in H2SO4, whereas there are 5 oxygen atoms in the reactants side. Also, there's more hydrogen atoms on the reactants side.
I hope this helps!
