Question

the balanced equation for the production of sugars by photosynthesis is shown below. 6co₂ + 6h₂oxrightarrow{energy}c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂ carbon dioxide water sugar oxygen this equation demonstrates the law of conservation of mass because a. there are more oxygen atoms on the right - side of the equation than on the left. b. there is the same number of each type of atom on the right side of the equation as on the left. c. there is the same number of compounds on the right side of the equation as the left. d. the sugar molecule on the right has the same mass as the carbon dioxide molecule.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. This is shown when there is an equal number of each type of atom on both sides of a balanced chemical equation.

Answer:

B. there is the same number of each type of atom on the right side of the equation as the left.
