Assignment Help:

What is the general chemical equation of photosynthesis? Why doesn't that equation clearly show the real origin of the molecular oxygen liberated?

The general equation of photosynthesis is:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2.

Water molecules are also formed in the chemical stage of photosynthesis as the following complete equation reveals:

6 CO2 + 12 H2O + light --> C6H12O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2
