Calculate the mass of water required to produce 36g of glucose during the process of photosynthesis in Plants.

Open in App

Solution

Dear student,
The equation of photosynthesis reaction is as follows.
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆+ 6O₂
From the above equation, 6 mole of water produces 1 mole of glucose.
108g of water required to produce =180 g glucose
36 gram glucose is formed by =108 x 36 /180 =21.6 g water.
Hence, 21.6 g water will be required to produce 36g of glucose.

regards
