Plants breathe in carbon dioxide to make sugar through photosynthesis. how much sugar can they create if 200 grams of carbon dioxide are used? 6 co2 + 6 h2o -> c6h12o6 + 6 o2 a. 136.48 grams b. 180.16 grams c. 30.03 grams d. 0.76 grams

The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

     .....(1)

Given mass of carbon dioxide = 200 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

The given chemical equation of photosynthesis reaction follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 6 moles of carbon dioxide produces 1 mole of glucose.

Then, 4.54 moles of carbon dioxide will produce =

Now, calculating the mass of glucose from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of glucose = 180.2 g/mol

Moles of glucose = 0.756 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
