What is the chemical reaction for photosynthesis?

Answer 1

#6CO_2 + 6H_2O + hnurarr C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2#

So is mass balanced; is charge balanced? You must learn to look at chemical reactions to see that they are indeed stoichiometrically balanced. If they are unbalanced, they cannot be accepted as a model for chemical reactivity. What does the #hnu# term mean in the reaction?
