Question

C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + energy

Please use the equation above to answer the questions below.

-What would be one way (for example, increase/decrease temperature, pressure, or volume of the container in which the reaction takes place) to make the reaction go faster? (1 pt.)

- What biological or non-biological catalyst(s) would make the reaction go faster? (1 pt.)

- What engineering solutions (examples may include increasing reactant surface area, agitating the reactants, or changing container shape) would make the reaction go faster? (1 pt.)

-What would be one way to measure (for example, the disappearance of products and/or reactants being formed) how fast the reaction happens? (1 pt.)

- Would removing one or more of the products as they form cause more products to form overall? Why? (1 pt.)

Answer 1

1. The reaction is exothermic hence on increasing temperature reaction will go faster also on decreasing volume of container concentration of glucose will increase and reaction will go forward

2. Reaction can be accelerated by using enzyme (zymase) obtained from yeast

3. On increasing surface area of catalyst by dissolving it into solution make reaction go faster

4. measuring rotation value of glucose by polarimeter we can measure the rate of reaction

5.By Le Chatlier principle by removing any one of product will favour forward reaction
