Question

which is the correct chemical equation for photosynthesis?
6co₂ + 6h₂o ⇌ c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂
c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6o₂ ⇌ 6co₂ + 6h₂o
3co₂ + 3h₂o + 3o₂⇌ c₆h₁₂o₆
6o₂ + 6h₂o ⇌ c₆h₁₂o₆ + 6co₂

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon - dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. The balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Answer:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ (first option)
