Consider the photosynthetic conversion of co2 and h2o to form glucose, c6h12o6, and o2. a. write the balanced reaction. b. is the number of each type of atom on either side of the arrow the same? c. is the number of molecules on either side of the equation the same

A. The photosynthetic conversion is through combustion of the glucose. The balanced chemical reaction is written below:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

b. Yes, it is because it has to obey the Law of Conservation of mass. There are a total of 6 atoms of C, 12 atoms of H and 18 atoms of O both in the left and right side of the reaction.

c. Yes. The stoichiometric coefficients can represent as atoms, molecules or moles.

the catch is that the top numbers are atomic masses the bottom numbers are the numbers of protons and electrons in an uncharged atom. they are the number of that atoms as you would find them on the periodic table. further, the numbers on the left are used to determine the missing numbers on the right

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z

answer

Non metal is an element or substance that is not a metal metal is a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivitymetalloid is an element (e.g., germanium or silicon) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals. they are electrical semiconductors.
