Answer:

26.16 moles of water

Explanation:

As per balanced equation given:

[tex]6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O--->C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}[/tex]

Six moles carbon dioxide will react with six moles of water to give one mole of glucose

As per problem the moles of glucose produced = 4.36

so the moles of water required is = 6X4.36 =26.16 moles

the same number of moles of carbon dioxide will also be required.
