Question

Give word equation for carbon dioxide in air to carbohydrates in plants.

Answer 1

• Carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll are changed into carbohydrates and oxygen is released this reaction is also known as photosynthesis.
• Green plants use this process to make their food.

Word equation:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}+\mathrm{Water}\underset{\mathrm{chlorophyll}}{\overset{\mathrm{sunlight}}{\to }}\mathrm{Carbohydrates}+\mathrm{Oxygen}+\mathrm{Energy} \\ (\mathrm{in}\mathrm{air})\left(\mathrm{glucose}\right) \end{gathered}$$

Chemical equation:

$$\begin{gathered} 6{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+6{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)\underset{\mathrm{chlorophyll}}{\overset{\mathrm{sunlight}}{\to }}{\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}{\mathrm{O}}_6\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+6{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+\mathrm{Energy} \\ \mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}\mathrm{Water}\mathrm{Glucose}\mathrm{Oxygen} \end{gathered}$$
