**Photosynthesis Equation Analysis**

Using the equation for photosynthesis below, answer the following questions:

\[ 2800 \, \text{kJ} + 6 \, \text{CO}_2 \, (g) + 6 \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \, (l) \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \, (s) + 6 \, \text{O}_2 \, (g) \]

**Explanation:**

This equation represents the process of photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide (\(\text{CO}_2\)) and water (\(\text{H}_2\text{O}\)) are converted into glucose (\(\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\)) and oxygen (\(\text{O}_2\)) using light energy, which is represented as 2800 kJ. The substances are in different states of matter, as indicated by the symbols: (g) for gas, (l) for liquid, and (s) for solid.

Equation of Photosynthesis

Re-writing the equation for photosynthesis,
6CO2 (g)+ 6H2O (l)  ------------> C6H12O6 (s) +  6O2 (g)   ΔH = -2800 kJ
The enthalpy of this reaction is arranged in the correct manner
