The sun supplies energy at a rate of about 1.0 kilowatt per square meter of surface area (1 watt = 1 J/s). The plants in an agricultural field produce the equivalent of 13 kg of sucrose (C12 H22 O11) per hour per hectare (1 ha = 10,000 m²). Assuming that sucrose is produced by the reaction 12CO.(a) + 11H.0() - Co Hoo O., (s) + 120ola) AH 5640 kJ

Question
![The sun supplies energy at a rate of about 1.0 kilowatt per square meter of surface area (1 watt =1 J/s). The plants in an agricultural field produce the
equivalent of 13 kg of sucrose (C12 H22 O11) per hour per hectare (1 ha :
10,000 m²). Assuming that sucrose is produced by the reaction
12CO2 (g) + 11H2O(1) → C12 H22 O11 (s) + 1202 (g) AH=5640 kJ
calculate the percentage of sunlight used to produce the sucrose
that is, determine the efficiency of photosynthesis in this field.
