thanks so much!!!
So for a and d are you saying there is no effect?
Yes, a and d are no effect.
a) nope, there are equal volumes of gases on each side.d) is the same reason.
all others are correct.
Actually, a is not no effect
Based on the context of the reaction and the changes mentioned, let's evaluate each effect on the equilibrium yield of C6H12O6(s):
a) Increasing pressure of CO2: Increasing the pressure of CO2 will shift the equilibrium towards the side of the reaction with fewer gaseous moles. In this case, it would favor the formation of C6H12O6. Therefore, the equilibrium yield of C6H12O6 will be increased. Your answer, increase, is correct.
b) Increasing temperature: According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the temperature of an exothermic reaction (represented by the delta H value being negative) favors the reverse reaction. In this case, it would decrease the formation of C6H12O6. Therefore, the equilibrium yield of C6H12O6 will be decreased. Your answer, decrease, is correct.
c) Removing CO2: If CO2 is removed from the system, it will cause the reaction to shift towards the side of the reaction with less CO2. Since C6H12O6 formation involves the consumption of CO2, removing it will decrease the formation of C6H12O6. Therefore, the equilibrium yield of C6H12O6 will be decreased. Your answer, decrease, is correct.
d) Decreasing the total pressure: A decrease in total pressure will not have a direct effect on the equilibrium yield, as long as no gaseous reactants or products are involved. In this reaction, only CO2 and O2 are gaseous, but they do not directly participate in the formation of C6H12O6. Therefore, the equilibrium yield of C6H12O6 will not be affected. Your answer, no effect, is correct.
e) Removing part of C6H12O6: Removing a product from the reaction will shift the equilibrium towards the side where the product is consumed to compensate for the loss. In this case, removing C6H12O6 will lead to an increase in its formation to replenish what was removed. Therefore, the equilibrium yield of C6H12O6 will not be affected, resulting in no effect. Your answer, no effect, is correct.
f) Adding a catalyst: A catalyst does not directly participate in the reaction, and it remains unchanged at the end. Its purpose is to speed up the reaction without being consumed. Since the equilibrium position is not affected by a catalyst, adding it will have no effect on the equilibrium yield of C6H12O6. Your answer, no effect, is correct.
Overall, your answers are correct for all the given scenarios.
