Even i wanted to know the answer to this question!! :p
6CO2+12H2O---> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2
I feel the number 12 preceding H2O in the equation of photosynthesis is merely the stoichiometric coefficient that is necessary to show that since 24 atoms of hydrogen are produced, hence 24 hydrogen atoms ought to be used....:/...
The reactants in photosynthesis includes 12 molecules of water. However, because there is 6 molecules of water as a product, the equation is often simplified to show 6 molecules of water as a net reactant.
Photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dixode into high-engery sugers and oxygen.Recants-carbon dixode and waterProducts-high-energy sugars and oxygen
In photosynthesis, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide result in 1 molecule of glucose. Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide molecules are converted into glucose using energy from sunlight and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
12 molecules of water are used in the reaction but 6 of them are reformed at the end of the reaction. it is not that 6 of them are used and 6 are given out. all 12 are broken down but only 6 of them are reformed into water at the end.
In aerobic respiration, one molecule of glucose can produce up to 36 molecules of ATP through the process of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Each NADH molecule produced in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle can generate up to 3 molecules of ATP, while each FADH2 molecule can generate up to 2 molecules of ATP in the electron transport chain. Overall, the complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose generates a maximum of 12 water molecules as a byproduct.

In the process of photosynthesis, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide react with 6 molecules of water to form one molecule of glucose and 6 molecules of oxygen. Thus, 12 molecules of hydrogen are required to form one molecule of glucose (from the 6 molecules of water).
In photosynthesis, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide result in 1 molecule of glucose. Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide molecules are converted into glucose using energy from sunlight and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
This chemical equation represents the process of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight are used to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen. For every six molecules of carbon dioxide and 12 molecules of water, one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen are produced. The process of photosynthesis involves the conversion of light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
The chemical formula for water is H2O. When you have 12 molecules of water, the chemical formula would be 12H2O.
Twelve. Glucose is C6H12O6, so two molecules of glucose would give you: 12 carbon atoms 24 hydrogen atoms 12 oxygen atoms The 12 molecules of oxygen would give 24 oxygen atoms, for 48 total atoms of oxygen. So...each carbon atom would take two oxygen atoms to give 12 molecules of carbon dioxide, and each remaining oxygen atom would take two hydrogen atoms to give 12 molecules of water.
12 molecules of water are used in the reaction but 6 of them are reformed at the end of the reaction. it is not that 6 of them are used and 6 are given out. all 12 are broken down but only 6 of them are reformed into water at the end.
Essentially, photosynthesis takes 12 simple molecules and organizes them into a more complex molecule (glucose) and six oxygen molecules. There are two processes mentioned that indicates entropy is negative (decreasing): simple molecules are organized in to complex molecules and the overall number of molecules decreases.
12 H2O is a chemical formula representing 12 molecules of water.
At least sixthis is because photosynthesis uses Carbon Dioxide, Water and Sunlight, to produce glucose. A glucose molecule is made of 6 carbon, 6 oxygen, and 12 hydrogen atoms. Since carbon dioxide is the only molecule in photosynthesis containing carbon atoms, and it only contains one per molecule, you would need a minimum of six molecules of it combined with six molecules of water in order to produce glucose. (with an extra 12 oxygen atoms)
It's the reverse of a combustion reaction. 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Note it produces glucose (a hydrocarbon) and oxygen when activated by LIGHT.
