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....:/...

How many molecules of glucose does photosynthesis produce?
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.
What are the reactants and products in the processs of photosynthesis?
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?
6 molecules of OXYGEN are used
Why is water on both sides of the equation for photosynthesis?
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.
Why is carbon dioxide and water used to make sugar?
Throught chemical reactions. The equation looks like this. 6H2O + 6CO2 ---------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 It's called photosynthesis. Plant remove CO2 from the atmosphere and, using the energy from sunlight, combine it with water molecules to make sugars and starches they can store for later use.

How many water molecules are formed in the electron transport chain?
12 water molecules are made.
Does photosynthesis increase or decrease rapidly at very high temperatures?
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.
How many molecules of carbon dioxide are used up by the plant in producing each molecule of oxygen?
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)
What is the chemical formula for 12 molecules of water?
12h2o
Are hydrated ions chemically bonded to water molecules?
What is this, I'm 12.
What are the products in the chemical equation 6co2 6h2o for photosynthesis?
It's the reverse of a combustion reaction. 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Note it produces glucose (a hydrocarbon) and oxygen when activated by LIGHT.
How do green plants get the energy required for photosynthesis?
How many molecules of water would result if two molecules of glucose combined with 12 molecules of oxygen?
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.
