Chemistry

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

The enthalpy change for the given reaction is 2837kJmol Since the enthalpy change is negative ie energy is liberated during the reaction Hence the reaction in exothermic A B The reaction is C6H12O6aq 2O2 6 CO2 6H2O l the equilibrium constant K is given by K CO26H2O6 C6H12O6O22 as glucose and water are solid liquid and does not affect the reactant at equilibrium it is disregarded and the values is kept at 1    See Answer
