To answer your question about the photosynthesis reaction, let's begin by writing out the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis:
\[ 6 , \text{CO}_2 + 6 , \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 , \text{O}_2 \]
Now, we can count the number of atoms of each type on both sides of the equation:
Reactants (Left Side):
- Carbon (C): 6 (from 6 CO₂)
- Hydrogen (H): 12 (from 6 H₂O)
- Oxygen (O): 18 (12 from 6 CO₂ and 6 from 6 H₂O)
Products (Right Side):
- Carbon (C): 6 (from C₆H₁₂O₆)
- Hydrogen (H): 12 (from C₆H₁₂O₆)
- Oxygen (O): 18 (6 from O₂ and 12 from C₆H₁₂O₆)
Now, you can fill in the table based on this information:
| Atom Type | Reactants | Products | |-----------|-----------|----------| | Carbon (C) | 6 | 6 | | Hydrogen (H) | 12 | 12 | | Oxygen (O) | 18 | 18 |
You can now drag and drop the numbers into the appropriate columns of your table.
