Question

In eq 1.12, why have we taken carbon dioxide, oxygen and glucose as solution(aq)?​

Answer 1

Hey mate!!

here's your answer..

»Here your eq(1.12) is a chemical equation for photosynthesis.

›where when we take :

6Carbon dioxide+ 12water (molecules) With the help of sunlight and chlorophyll it will change and become Glucose +6 oxygen +6 water (molecules) .

»You're main question is ,why is it in the form of solution ?

›So, It is mostly shown in chemical equations by appending (aq) to the relevant chemical formula.

The word aqueous (comes from aqua) means pertaining to, related to, similar to, or dissolved in, water.

»The symbol (aq) designates that the atom is in an aqueous solution state at that time.
