Balance the photosynthesis equation:
CO2+ H2O-> C6H12O6+ O2
Which i think this is Balanced:
6CO2 + 6H2O + energy-> C6H12O6 + 6O2 ?

The question is this:
According to the balanced equation __________ moles of carbon dioxide will react with _________moles of water to produce _________moles of sugar and ________ moles of oxygen.

PLEAS HELP!!! i been trying on this one problem since 3 pm it's now 12:31 am/:

Your reaction equation is correctly balanced.

According to the balanced equation, 6 moles of carbon dioxide will react with 6 moles of water to produce 1 mole of sugar and 6 moles of oxygen.

The answers are the coefficients in your balanced equation.

thanks !:) so then what would this one be ?
What are the molar masses of the following compounds from the photosynthesis equation?
CO2=___________g=1 mole
H20=___________g=1 mole
C6H12O6=________g=1 mole
O2=________g=1 mole ??
Answered by Lyssa
is either of these correct ?
1. 8CO2 + 6H20 -> 8O2
or
2. 3CO2 + 6H2O -> 1C6H1206 + 3O2

1 is wrong. What happened to C and H?
2. Do the C balance? you have 3 on the left, and six on the right.
