Question

for every 6 molecules of carbon dioxide gas (co₂) and 6 molecules of water (h₂o) that go into photosynthesis, the process produces 1 molecule of glucose (c₆h₁₂o₆) and 6 molecules of oxygen gas (o₂). complete the table. type of atom number of atoms in 1 molecule of glucose number of atoms in 6 molecules of oxygen total number of atoms in products h 0 c 6 0 o 0

Explanation:

Step1: Determine H atoms in glucose

The formula of glucose is $C_6H_{12}O_6$. So, in 1 molecule of glucose, the number of H atoms is 12.

Step2: Calculate total H atoms in products

Since there are no H atoms in oxygen and 12 H atoms in 1 molecule of glucose, the total number of H atoms in products is 12.

Step3: Calculate total C atoms in products

There are 6 C atoms in 1 molecule of glucose and no C atoms in oxygen, so the total number of C atoms in products is 6.

Step4: Determine O atoms in glucose and oxygen

In 1 molecule of glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$), there are 6 O atoms. In 1 molecule of oxygen ($O_2$), there are 2 O atoms. So in 6 molecules of oxygen, there are $6\times2 = 12$ O atoms.

Step5: Calculate total O atoms in products

The total number of O atoms in products is the sum of O atoms in glucose and oxygen, which is $6 + 12=18$.

Answer:

Type of atom	Number of atoms in 1 molecule of glucose	Number of atoms in 6 molecules of oxygen	Total number of atoms in products
C	6	0	6
O	6	12	18
