6CO2 + 6 H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
How many moles of glucose (C2H12O6) will be produced if 3.0 moles of Carbon dioxide (CO2) are consumed?

The answer to your question is 0.5 moles

Explanation:

Data

moles of Glucose = ?

moles of carbon dioxide = 3

Balanced chemical reaction

                6CO₂  +  6H₂O   ⇒   C₆H₁₂O₆  +  6O₂

Process

To solve this problem, use proportions, and cross multiplication.

Use the coefficients of the balanced equation.

                6 moles of CO₂ 1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆

                3 moles of CO₂    x

                    x = (3 x 1) / 6

-Simplification

                    x = 3/6

-Result

                   x = 0.5 moles of Glucose
