Given the equation below for the synthesis of sucrose setup the mole ratios of the following: CO2+H2O->C12H22O11+O2 for this problem, enter coefficients from the balanced chemical equation (do not reduce fraction). (a) CO2toH2O molCO2 molH2O
The balanced equation for the synthesis of sucrose is:
6 CO2 + 6 H2O -> C12H22O11 + 6 O2
From the balanced equation, the mole ratio of CO2 to H2O is 6:6, or simply 1:1.
