Question

In photosynthesis, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide combine with an equal number of water molecules through a complex series of reactions to give a molecule of glucose having a molecular formula $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ . The mass of water required to produce 18 g of glucose is____________.
(answer should be the nearest integer)

Solution

$6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O C h l o r o p h y l l - ------ \to S u n l i g h t C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2}$

1 mole of glucose needs 6 moles of water

180 g of glucose needs $(6 \times 18)$ g of water

1 g of glucose will need $\frac{108}{180}$ g of water.

18 g of glucose would need $\frac{108}{180} \times 18$ g of water $= 10.8$ g
