Question

How do we get a balanced equation for a photosynthesis reaction?

Open in App

Solution

Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.
The overall balanced equation is...

6CO₂+ 6H₂O ------> C₆H₁₂O₆+ 6O_{2
^{Sunlight energy}}

Where: CO₂ = carbon dioxide
H₂O = water
Light energy is required
C₆H₁₂O₆ = glucose
O₂ = oxygen
