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

Explanation:

Step1: Determine H - atoms in glucose

The formula of glucose is $C_6H_{12}O_6$. So, 1 molecule of glucose has 12 H - atoms.

Step2: Calculate total H - atoms in products

Since there are no H - atoms in oxygen and 1 molecule of glucose has 12 H - atoms, 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

1 molecule of glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) has 6 O - atoms.

Step5: Determine O - atoms in oxygen

1 molecule of oxygen is $O_2$, so 6 molecules of oxygen have $6\times2 = 12$ O - atoms.

Step6: Calculate total O - atoms in products

Add O - atoms from glucose and oxygen. $6 + 12=18$ O - atoms in products.

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
