The chemical reaction of this statement is,
6 CO2 + 6 H2 C6H12O6+ 6O2 


1 mole of glucose needs 6 moles of water
or 180 g of glucose needs (6 × 18) g of water
or 1 g of glucose needs=108180
or 18 g of glucose would need = 108 ×18180
                                                           10.8 g
So, 10.8 g of water would be required to produce 18 g of glucose.
