Question

question 9: this equation describes the chemical reaction that occurs during photosynthesis. 6co₂ + 6h₂o→ c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂ how many total atoms does c₆h₁₂o₆ contain?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify carbon atoms

The sub - script of C is 6, so there are 6 carbon atoms.

Step2: Identify hydrogen atoms

The sub - script of H is 12, so there are 12 hydrogen atoms.

Step3: Identify oxygen atoms

The sub - script of O is 6, so there are 6 oxygen atoms.

Step4: Calculate total atoms

Add the number of each type of atom: $6 + 12+6=24$.

Answer:

24
