Answer:

The law of conservation of mass indicates the same amount of carbon will be found in the reactants as in the  products

Explanation:

The reaction between carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose and water strictly follows the law of conservation of mass.

Let us give the reaction expression:

        6CO₂   +   6H₂O   →   C₆H₁₂O₆   +    6O₂

According to the law of conservation of mass, matter is neither created nor destroyed but new compounds are formed during a chemical reaction.

From the given reaction expression, we can clearly see that 6 moles of carbon on the reactant side will produce 6 moles of carbon on the product side.

Therefore, the law obeys the law of conservation of mass.
