Photosynthesis of carbohydrates in plant...

Photosynthesis of carbohydrates in plants takes place as
`6CO_(2)+12H_(2)O overset(Sunlight)rarr C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)+6O_(2)+6H_(2)O`
Equivalent weights of `CO_(2)` and `C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)` respectively are

A

`11`, `7.5`

B

`44`, `90`

C

`22`, `15`

D

`44`, `180`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Oxidation number of (six `C`) `underset(24)underset(uarr)(6CO_(2)) rarr underset(0)underset(uarr)(C_(6))H_(12)O_(6)`
Change in oxidation number `=24 units`
Hence, equivalent weight of `CO_(2)=(6xx44)/(24)=11`
and equivalent weight of `C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)=(180)/(24)=7.5`
