Given the thermochemical equation for photosynthesis, 6h2o(l) + 6co2(g) → c6h12o6(s) + 6o2(g) δh = +2803 kj/mol calculate the solar energy required to produce 5743 g of c6h12o6.

8.935 × 10⁴ kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the thermochemical equation for photosynthesis.

6 H₂O(l) + 6 CO₂(g) → C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6 O₂(g) ΔH = +2803 kJ/mol

2803 kJ of energy are absorbed per 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆. Considering the molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ is 180.16 g/mol, the energy required to produce 5743 g of C₆H₁₂O₆ is:
