Question

The reaction for producing glucose in plants, called photosynthesis, is 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O light −−→ C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 6CO2+6H2O→lightC6H12O6+6O2 If a plant produces 5.06 mol C 6 H 12 O 6 , 5.06 mol C6H12O6, how many moles of H 2 O H2O are needed?

Answer 1

Answer:

30.36moles

Explanation:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

From the equation above,

6moles of H2O are required to produce 1 mole of C6H12O6

Therefore, Xmol of H2O will be require to 5.06moles of C6H12O6 i.e

Xmol of H2O = 6 x 5.06 = 30.36moles

Therefore, 30.36moles of H2O are needed.
