(N/A) The balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
$6CO_{2}(g) + 12H_{2}O(l) \xrightarrow[\text{Chlorophyll}]{\text{Sunlight}} C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}(aq) + 6O_{2}(g) + 6H_{2}O(l)$
Explanation:
$1$. $6$ molecules of carbon dioxide $(CO_{2})$ in gaseous state react with $12$ molecules of water $(H_{2}O)$ in liquid state.
$2$. The reaction occurs in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll (the green pigment in plants).
$3$. The products formed are $1$ molecule of glucose $(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6})$ in aqueous state,$6$ molecules of oxygen $(O_{2})$ in gaseous state,and $6$ molecules of water $(H_{2}O)$ in liquid state.
