Answer: 0.4 moles of glucose are produced by the reaction of 2.40 moles of water.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a phenomenon in which green plants containing chlorophyll use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to form glucose and oxygen.
The balanced chemical equation is:
[tex]6CO_2+6H_2O\overset{sunlight}\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2[/tex]
According to stoichiometry:
6 moles of water produces = 1 mole of glucose
2.40 moles of water produces = [tex]\frac{1}{6}\times 2.4=0.4[/tex] moles of glucose
Thus 0.4 moles of glucose are produced by the reaction of 2.40 moles of water.
