Green plants use light from the Sun to drive photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction in which water (H,0) and carbon dioxide (CO,) chemically react to form the simple sugar glucose (C,H,20,) and oxygen gas (0,). What mass of carbon dioxide is consumed by the reaction of 8.26 g of water? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The reactants given are H2O and CO2 and the products are C6H12O6 and O2.

Given : Mass of H2O reacting = 8.26 g

Molar mass of H2O = Atomic mass of H X 2 + Atomic mass of O = 1 X 2 + 16 = 18 g/mol.

Since mass = moles X molar mass

=> 8.26 = moles of H2O reacting X 18

=> Moles of H2O reacting = 0.45889 mol approx.
