The chemical equation for photosynthesis, using the symbols for the reactants and products, can be represented as follows:

\[ 6 \text{CO}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{Sunlight} \rightarrow \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \text{O}_2 \]

In this equation:

  • 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and 6 molecules of water (H₂O) react in the presence of sunlight to produce 1 molecule of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and 6 molecules of oxygen (O₂).
Do it right

I apologize for any confusion. Here is the correct representation of the photosynthesis chemical equation with the appropriate reactants and products:

\[ 6 \text{CO}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{Sunlight} \rightarrow \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \text{O}_2 \]

To break it down:

  • Reactants: 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and 6 molecules of water (H₂O), along with sunlight as the energy source.
  • Products: 1 molecule of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and 6 molecules of oxygen (O₂).

This equation summarizes the process of photosynthesis in plants.

Do it correct please

I apologize for any confusion in my previous messages. Here’s the correct portrayal of the chemical equation for photosynthesis, emphasizing the role of sunlight:

\[ 6 \text{CO}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{sunlight} \rightarrow \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \text{O}_2 \]

Breakdown of the Equation:

  • Reactants:

    • 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (\(6 \text{CO}_2\))
    • 6 molecules of water (\(6 \text{H}_2\text{O}\))
    • Sunlight (the energy source)
  • Products:

    • 1 molecule of glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\))
    • 6 molecules of oxygen (\(6 \text{O}_2\))

This equation accurately represents the process of photosynthesis where plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Thank you for your patience!
