Answer:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Explanation:
Photosynthesis:
It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.
Carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen
water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture by chloroplast.
Chemical equation:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water and created one mole of glucose and six mole of oxygen.
The reaction completely follow the law of conservation of mass because there are equal number of atoms of each elements on both side of equation.
Law of conservation of mass:
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
For example:
In given photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
