Green plants use light from the sun to drive photosynthesis. photosynthesis is a chemical reaction in which water and carbon dioxide chemically react to form the simple sugar glucose and oxygen gas . what mass of simple sugar glucose is produced by the reaction of of water? be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Mass of glucose = 180.156 g

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Number of moles of water = 6 mole

Molar ratio:

Mole ratio of water and glucose:

              H₂O         :         C₆H₁₂O₆

               6             :           1

Mass of glucose produced by 6 mole of water:

Mass of glucose = number of moles × molar mass

Mass of glucose =  1 mol × 180.156 g/mol

Mass of glucose = 180.156 g

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
