Problem

Photosynthesis is a redox reaction i.e., XCO2+XH2O→Chlorophyllhv(CH2O)n+XO2\text{XCO}_2 + \text{XH}_2\text{O} \xrightarrow[\text{Chlorophyll}]{\text{hv}} (\text{CH}_2\text{O})_n + \text{XO}_2 ; which one is not correct about it: (1) carbon is reduced and oxygen is oxidised (2) it may be classified as intermolecular redox reaction (3) O2\text{O}_2 released comes from H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} (4) equivalent mass of CO2\text{CO}_2 is 11 and of H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} is 4.5
