During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide, water, and energy from the sun and produce carbohydrates and oxygen. Which of the following statements best explains how plants follow the law of conservation of mass during photosynthesis? The amount of each element in the reactants equals the amount of each element in the products.

The number of carbon dioxide molecules taken in exactly equals the number of carbohydrate molecules produced.

The plant uses the carbon dioxide gas, liquid water, and energy to produce a solid carbohydrate.

The plants mass does not increase or decrease as a result of photosynthesis.

The amount of each element in the reactants equals the amount of each element in the products.

For the well balanced equation of photosynthesis

a plasma is a warm ionized gasoline consisting of approximately equal numbers of definitely charged ions and negatively charged electrons. the characteristics of plasmas are notably unique from the ones of ordinary neutral gases in order that plasmas are considered a awesome "fourth kingdom of remember."

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
