Question

Select the option that represents the correct balanced equation for the process of photosynthesis:

विकल्प

• \[\ce{CO2 + O2 + H2O ->[Chlorophyll] C6H12O6 + H2O}\]

• \[\ce{6CO2 + 6H2O ->[Chlorophyll][Sunlight] C6H12O6 + O2}\]

• \[\ce{CO2 + H2O ->[Sunlight] C6H12O6}\]

• \[\ce{6CO2 + 12H2O ->[Chlorophyll][Sunlight] C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O}\]

Answer 1

\[\ce{6CO2 + 12H2O ->[Chlorophyll][Sunlight] C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O}\]

Explanation:

\[\ce{6CO2 + 12H2O ->[Chlorophyll][Sunlight] C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O}\]
This reaction is completely balanced, in which 12 water molecules are split, producing glucose, oxygen, and 6 water molecules as byproducts.
