Question

unit 1, lc2 practice
the chemical equation for photosynthesis is below. label the parts of the chemical equation.
6co₂ + 6h₂o + energy → 6co₂ + c₆h₁₂o₆
reactants products exothermic endothermic

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reactants and products in a chemical equation

In a chemical equation, the substances on the left - hand side of the arrow are reactants and the substances on the right - hand side are products.
For the equation \(6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O + energy
ightarrow6CO_{2}+C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\), the left - hand side \(6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O + energy\) are reactants.

Step2: Analyze the energy term

Since energy is on the reactant side (it is required for the reaction to occur), the reaction is endothermic.

Answer:

The first blank (left - hand side of the arrow) is labeled as "reactants" and the reaction is "endothermic".
