equation:
CO2 + H₂O + hv→ C6H12O6+ O2
a) Balance the equation.
b) If the reaction requires an input of energy (sunlight) to proceed, is the reaction
endothermic or exothermic?
c) Calculate the heat of reaction AH to see how much energy is required, given the standard
enthalpy for glucose C6H12O6 is -1273.3 kJ/mol.
Answer: 2,803 kJ/mol
d) If an average tree produces 260 lbs. of oxygen per year, how many kilograms of carbon
dioxide does it take up?
Answer: 162.2 kg CO₂
e) What wavelength is necessary to drive this reaction if it takes one photon to dissociate
one molecule?
Answer: 0.0425 µm
