Chemistry - Biomolecules Question with Solution | TestHub

1 g of dry green algae absorbs $4.63\times 10^{-3}$ mole of ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ per hour by photosynthesis. If the fixed carbon atoms were all stored after photosynthesis as starch ${\left({\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{10}{\mathrm{O}}_5\right)}_{\mathrm{n}}$. Approximately how long (in hour) would it take for the algae to double their own weight assuming photosynthesis takes place at a constant rate?
