Glucose Metabolism can be represented by the following chemicalreaction:
C6H12o^(aq) + 6 02 (g) -------------- 6C02 (g) + 6 H20 (i)
H for the reaction is -2837 kj/mole.
A: Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic?
B: Write an expressin for the equilibruim constant is verylarge, would you expect this reaction to be fast or slow?
C: Given that the value of equilibrium constant is very large,would you expect this reaction to be fast or slow?
D: Explain the effect on equilibrium of
: Increasing temperature
: Increasing pressure by decreasing the volume
: Decreasing concentration of oxygen
: Increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide
