Question

The reaction for photosynthesis producing glucose sugar and oxygen gas is: __CO₂(g)+ __H₂O(l)  __C₆H₁₂O₆(s)+ __O₂(g)
What is the mass of glucose (180.18 g/mol)produced from 2.20 g of CO₂?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1 mole of CO2 produces 1 mole of glucose
Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol
2.20 g of CO2 is equivalent to:

2.20 g CO2 * (1 mol CO2/44.01 g CO2) = 0.050 mol CO2

0.050 mol CO2 * (1 mol glucose/1 mol CO2) * (180.18 g glucose/mol glucose) = 1.50 g glucose

Therefore, the mass of glucose produced from 2.20 g of CO2 is 1.50 g. Option C is the correct answer.
