The following reaction is exothermic. C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)⇌6CO2(g)+6H2O(g)C6 H12O6(s)+6O2(g)⇌6CO2(g)+6H2O(g) Predict the effect (shift right, shift left, or no effect) of increasing and decreasing the reaction temperature. You may want to reference (Pages 665 - 672) Section 15.9 while completing this problem. Part A Predict the effect (shift right, shift left, or no effect) of increasing the reaction temperature.

I) increasing the reaction temperature shift equilibrium left

II) decreasing the reaction temperature equilibrium right

Explanation:

The equation C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)⇌6CO2(g)+6H2O(g) represent cellular respiration where glucose is oxidized by oxygen to yeild carbon dioxide and water respectively. Also energy is released to drive cellular processes.

Since, cellular respiration is an exothermic reaction:

- increasing the reaction temperature shift equilibrium to left favoring the reactants, glucose and oxygen production

- decreasing the reaction temperature shift equilibrium to right favoring the products, carbon dioxide and water production

a) the particles of the chair are strongly held together.
