Answer: The correct answer is Option A.
Explanation:
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex] .....(1)
- For carbon dioxide:
Given mass of carbon dioxide = 200 g
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]\text{Moles of carbon dioxide}=\frac{200g}{44g/mol}=4.54mol[/tex]
The given chemical equation of photosynthesis reaction follows:
[tex]6CO_2+6H_2O\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2[/tex]
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
If 6 moles of carbon dioxide produces 1 mole of glucose.
Then, 4.54 moles of carbon dioxide will produce = [tex]\frac{1}{6}\times 4.54=0.756mol[/tex]
Now, calculating the mass of glucose from equation 1, we get:
Molar mass of glucose = 180.2 g/mol
Moles of glucose = 0.756 moles
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]0.756mol=\frac{\text{Mass of glucose}}{180.2g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of glucose}=136.48g[/tex]
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
