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 hydrogen atoms in glucose

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

Step2: Calculate total hydrogen atoms in products

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

Step3: Calculate total carbon atoms in products

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

Step4: Determine oxygen atoms in glucose

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

Step5: Determine oxygen atoms in 6 molecules of oxygen

1 molecule of oxygen ($O_2$) has 2 oxygen atoms. So, 6 molecules of oxygen have $6\times2 = 12$ oxygen atoms.

Step6: Calculate total oxygen atoms in products

The total number of oxygen atoms in products is the sum of oxygen atoms in glucose and oxygen atoms in 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
