What happens to the excess glucose in plants?

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 This equation represents how plants turn carbon dioxide into glucose (C6H12O6) a?

• 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 This equation represents how plants turn carbon dioxide into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen. How many grams of glucose can be made from 600.0 grams of carbon dioxide?

• Answer:

  moles CO2 = mass / molar mass = 600.0 g / 44.01 g/mol = 13.6333 mol the balanced equation tells you that 1 mole glucose forms from 6 moles CO2 So moles glucose = 1/6 x moles CO2 = 2.2722 moles mass = molar mass x moles mass glucose = 180.156 g/mol x 2.2722 mol = 409.4 g
