Determine the limiting reactant, excess reactant, mass of the excess reactant and the mass of the product.
Photosynthesis reactions in green plants utilize carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen. Write down the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. If a plant has 88 g carbon dioxide and 64 g water available for photosynthesis, determine:
1. the limiting reactant
2. the excess reactant and the mass in excess
3. the mass of glucose produced
