6CO2 + 12H2O = C6H12O6 + 6H2O + CO2as a chemical equation is wrong; it is unbalanced:there are 6 carbon on the left but 7 on the right; and24 oxygen on the left but only 14 on the right.6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2is balanced and is a close representation of photosynthesis:6CO2 + 6H2O (in the presence of sunlight (energy) & chlorophyll) --> C6H12O6 + 6O2The reverse, respiration is:C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2Oalong with the release of energy.
6CO2+6H2O+sunlight -> C6H12O6+6O2+Energy
C6H12O6+12KNO3 gives 12KNO2+6CO2+6H2O+energy
This is the imbalanced symbol equation for photosynthesis. The balanced version is: 6CO2 + 6H2O ---- C6H12O6 + 6O2.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O 7 ( implied one in front of the carbohydrate glucose ) does not equal 12, so not true Only the sum of the atoms must be equal.
