Without performing any calculations, de-
termine whether the entropy of the system
increases or decreases in the photosynthesis
of glucose:
6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l) →
C6H1206(s) + 6 O2(g)
1. The entropy does not change.
2. Unable to determine
3. increases
4. decreases

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. 2co2 (g) 2co (g) + o2 (g) h° = -514 kj le châtelier's principle predicts that the equilibrium partial pressure of co (g) can be maximized by carrying out the reaction a. at high temperature and high pressure b. at high temperature and low pressure c. at low temperature and low pressure d. at low temperature and high pressure e. in the presence of solid carbon
