Solution Summary
Photosynthesis is actually a complex series of chemical reactions. Photosynthesis can be simplified into two reactants (carbon dioxide and water) and two products (glucose and oxygen). This answer gives the chemical equation for photosynthesis and solves for the moles of glucose produced if 0.50 moles of water are consumed.
