In photosynthesis, glucose, $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}$, and $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ are produced from $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$. Glucose from starches is the major fuel for the body. $6 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+680 \mathrm{kcal} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}(a q)+6 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g)$ Glucose a. Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic? b. How many grams of glucose are produced from $18.0 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ ? c. How much heat, in kilojoules, is needed to produce $25.0 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6} ?$

Key Concepts

Thermochemistry

Thermochemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the energy changes, particularly heat exchange, during chemical reactions. This discipline helps explain how much energy is absorbed or released and is essential for calculating energy requirements in reactions such as photosynthesis.

Molar Mass

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, calculated by summing the atomic masses of all atoms in its molecular formula. It is crucial for converting between grams and moles in stoichiometric calculations.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry involves the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions, using balanced chemical equations to determine the proportional relationships between quantities. It is essential for predicting the amounts of products formed from known amounts of reactants.

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the biochemical process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy by plants and other organisms, using carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. This process is fundamental to the energy flow in ecosystems and involves complex reactions driven by sunlight.

Endothermic Reaction

An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs energy, typically in the form of heat, from its surroundings. This concept is key in understanding reactions like photosynthesis, where energy input is necessary to drive the chemical process.
