Green plants use light from the Sun to drive photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction in which water and carbon dioxide chemically react to form the simple sugar glucose and oxygen gas . What mass of simple sugar glucose is produced by the reaction of of water

This question is incomplete; the remaining part is as follows:

What mass of simple sugar glucose is produced by the reaction of 6.48g of water?

The answer is 4.780g of glucose

Explanation:

Photosynthesis, as described in the question, is a chemical reaction in which water and carbon dioxide chemically react to form the simple sugar glucose and oxygen gas. The chemical reaction is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2

6 moles of H2O will produce 1 mole of glucose

Using mole=mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CO2 = 44g/mol, C6H12O6 = 180g/mol

Mass of water used = 6mol × 44g/mol

= 244g

Mass of glucose produced = 1mol × 180g/mol = 180g

That is;

244g of H2O will produce 180g of glucose

Hence, 6.48g of H20 will produce:

= 6.48 × 180/244

= 4.780g of glucose

the correct answer is b
