Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The correct balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is ____
A
C6H12O6 CH3CH2O ____
B
C6H12O6 + 6CO2 ____
C
C6H12O6 + 6O2
D
6CO2 + 6H2O-
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. In plants, the process of photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll of the leaves, inside the chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is balanced, as there are 6 carbons, 18 oxygens, and 12 hydrogens on both sides of the equation. This equation is particularly important to remember, as it is the photosynthesis process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, the balance chemical equation is: 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2.

Detailed explanation-5: -ANS . (1) 6CO2+7H2O—–>C6H12O6+6O2+H2O is incorrect.
