Here's what I get.

This question is an exercise in the application of Le Châtelier's Principle, which states that if we apply a stress to a system at equilibrium, the system will respond in such a way as to relieve the stress. Since #ΔH >0#, we know that the reaction is endothermic. We can treat the heat as if it were a reactant: #"6CO"_2"(g)" + "6H"_2"O(l)" + "heat" ⇌ "C"_6"H"_12"O"_6"(s)" + "6O"_2("g)"# (a) Increase the pressure of #"CO"_2# The position of equilibrium will shift to the right to get rid of the added #"CO"_2#. The yield will increase. (b) Increase the temperature. The position of equilibrium will shift to the right to get rid of the added heat. The yield will increase. (c) Remove #"CO"_2# The position of equilibrium will shift to the left to replace the #"CO"_2# that is removed. The yield will decrease. (d) Remove #"C"_6"H"_12"O"_6"(s)"# No effect. The addition or removal of a solid does not affect the position of equilibrium. (e) Removing #"O"_2"(g)"# The position of equilibrium will shift to the right to replace the #"O"_2# that is removed. The yield will increase. (f) Adding a catalyst No effect. The addition of a catalyst does not affect the position of equilibrium. It just speeds up the reaction. (g) Increasing the total pressure No effect. There are 6 mol of gas on each side of the equation, so the system is unable to relieve the pressure by moving in either direction.

undefined You haven't provided the specific change or condition that would affect the equilibrium yield of C6H12O6 (s). Could you please provide the specific condition or change you'd like to know about? Examples include changes in temperature, pressure, concentration, or the addition of a catalyst.
