    The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows

    6H₂O + 6CO₂ - - - > C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

    number of moles of CO₂ used - 44 g / 44 g/mol = 1 mol

    number of moles of H₂O used - 18 g / 18 g/mol = 1 mol

    stoichiometry of CO₂ to H₂O is 6:6 = 1:1

    1 mol of CO₂ present and 1 mol of H₂O present therefore they are both fully used up in the reaction of molar ratio 1:1

    number of moles of O₂ formed - 32 g / 32 g/mol = 1 mol

    stoichiometry of CO₂:H₂O:C₆H₁₂O₆:O₂ is 6:6:1:6

    1 mol of CO₂ has reacted with 1 mol of H₂O to form 1 mol of O₂ and x mol of C₆H₁₂O₆

    the number of C₆H₁₂O₆ moles is 1/6th of CO₂ moles used up

    since CO₂ moles - 1 mol

    therefore C₆H₁₂O₆ moles formed - 1/6 mol = 0.167 mol

    mass of glucose formed - 0.167 g x 180 g/mol = 30 g

    therefore 30 g of glucose is formed
