The overall photosynthesis reaction is 6 CO 2 (g) +6 H 2 O(l) C 6 H

Question:

The overall photosynthesis reaction is 6 CO2(g) +6 H2O(l) → C6H12O6(aq) + 6 O2(g), and ΔH° = +2802 kJ. Suppose that the reaction is at equilibrium. State the effect that each of the following changes will have on the equilibrium composition: tends to shift toward the formation of reactants, tends to shift toward the formation of products, or has no effect. 

(a) The partial pressure of O2 is increased. 

(b) The system is compressed. 

(c) The amount of CO2 is increased. 

(d) The temperature is increased. 

(e) Some of the C6H12O6 is removed. 

(f) Water is added. 

(g) The partial pressure of CO2 is decreased.
