$6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O + h ν \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2}$ $6CO_2 + 6H_2O + hnurarr C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2$

Explanation:

So is mass balanced; is charge balanced? You must learn to look at chemical reactions to see that they are indeed stoichiometrically balanced. If they are unbalanced, they cannot be accepted as a model for chemical reactivity. What does the $h ν$ $hnu$ term mean in the reaction?
