?The Sun supplies about 1.0 kilowatt of energy for each square meter of surface area

Chapter 5, Problem 5.12

(choose chapter or problem)

The Sun supplies about 1.0 kilowatt of energy for each square meter of surface area (1.0 kW>m2, where a watt = 1 J/s). Plants produce the equivalent of about 0.20 g of sucrose (C12H22O11) per hour per square meter. Assuming that the sucrose is produced as follows, calculate the percentage of sunlight used to produce sucrose.

\(\begin{array}{r}12 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+11 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}_{11}+12 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \\

\Delta H=5645 \mathrm{~kJ}\end{array}/)

12CO_2(g)+11H_2O(l) longrightarrow C_12H_22O_11+12O_2(g)

Delta H=5645 kJ
