Question

In photosynthesis, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide combine with an equal number of water molecules
through a complex series of reactions to give a molecule of glucose having a molecular formula CHO
How many grams of water would be required to produce 18 g of glucose? Compute the volume of water
to be 1 g cm-3​

1 mole of glucose requires 6 moles of water.

180 g of glucose requires (618) g of water.

1 g of glucose will require

180

108

g of water.

18 g of glucose would need

180

108

18g of water =10.8 g

Volume of water used =
