Glucose is produced in plants through the process of photosynthesis according to the following BALANCED equation. 6 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) →C6H12O6 (aq) + 6 O2(g) What mass of glucose will be produced if 13 moles of carbon dioxide react?

Respuesta :

Answer:

390.34 g of glucose will be produced if 13 moles of carbon dioxide react.

Explanation:

Moles of carbon dioxide = 13 moles

According to the reaction shown below:-

[tex]6 CO_2_{(g)} + 6 H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow  C_6H_{12}O_6_{(aq)} + 6 O_2_{(g)}[/tex]

6 moles of carbon dioxide are required to produce 1 mole of glucose

Also,

1 mole of carbon dioxide is required to produce [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] mole of glucose.

So,

13 moles of carbon dioxide are required to produce [tex]\frac{1}{6}\times 13[/tex] mole of glucose.

Moles of glucose produced = 2.1667 moles

Molar mass of glucose = 180.156 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

[tex]moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]2.1667\ mole= \frac{Mass}{180.156\ g/mol}[/tex]

[tex]Mass_{glucose}= 390.34\ g[/tex]

390.34 g of glucose will be produced if 13 moles of carbon dioxide react.
