during photosynthesis, water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are combined to make glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2). Which equation is balanced?

Question

6H2O+6CO2>C6H2O6+6O2
122O+3CO2>C6H12O6+O2
H2O+CO2>C6H2O6+O2
10H2O+5CO2>C6H12O6+15O2

Answer 1

The correct balanced equation for photosynthesis is:

6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2

This equation shows that six molecules of water (H2O) and six molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) are used to produce one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) and six molecules of oxygen (O2).

So, the first option you listed is the balanced equation.
