Question 1

Glucose metabolism can be represented by the following chemical reaction:

Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic?

Write an expression for the equilibrium constant for this reaction.

Given that the value of the equilibrium constant is very large, would you expect this reaction to be fast or slow?

Explain the effect on equilibrium of

Increasing temperature

Increasing pressure by decreasing the volume

Decreasing concentration of oxygen

Increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide

Adding a catalyst

Question 1 Glucose metabolism can be represented by the following chemical reaction: C6H12O6(aq)+6O2(g) Arrow Delta H for the reaction is -2837 kJ/mole. Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? Write an expression for the equilibrium constant for this reaction. Given that the value of the equilibrium constant is very large, would you expect this reaction to be fast or slow? Explain the effect on equilibrium of Increasing temperature Increasing pressure by decreasing the volume Decreasing concentration of oxygen Increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide Adding a catalyst Arrow 6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)

Explanation / Answer

a) exothermic

b) Kc= [CO2]6/[C6H12O6] [O2 ]6

c) fast .

d)

Increasing temperature -----------------------shift backward direction

Increasing pressure by decreasing the volume ----------------shift forward direction

Decreasing concentration of oxygen---------------------shift backward direction

Increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide---------------shift backward direction

Adding a catalyst -----------------------------------------------No effect
