Question

Green plants use light from the Sun to drive photosynthesis, a chemical reaction in which liquid water and carbon dioxide gas form aqueous glucose C6H12O6 and oxygen O2 gas. Calculate the moles of oxygen produced by the reaction of 0.800mol of carbon dioxide. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to 3 significant digits.

Answer 1

0.800 mol of O2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the moles of oxygen produced by the reaction of 0.800mol of carbon dioxide.

The balanced equation for the reaction is given as;

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

From the reaction;

6 mol of CO2 produces 6 mol of O2

0.0800 mol of CO2 would produce x mol of O2

6 = 6

0.0800 = x

Solving for x;

x = 6 * 0.800 / 6

x = 0.800 mol
