Answer:

  • 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the chemical process carried out by plants for the conversion of inorganic matter (carbon dioxide and water) into organic matter (glucose) with the release of oxygen, using light (sun energy).

So the chemical process may be represented by:

  • Word equation:

        carbon dioxide + water + sun energy → glucose + oxygen

  • Skeleton equation:

       CO₂ + H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂

  • Balanced chemical equation:

       6CO₂ + 6H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

  • Supressing the energy to show only the chemical compounds:

        6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
