Answer:
According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the reaction temperature of an exothermic reaction causes a shift to the left and decreasing the reaction temperature causes a shift to the right.
Explanation:
C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) ⇌6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
We are told that the forward reaction is exothermic, meaning heat is removed from the reacting substance to the surroundings.
According to Le Chatelier's principle,
1. for an exothermic reaction, on increasing the temperature, there is a shift in equilibrium to the left and formation of the product is favoured.
2. if the temperature of the system is decreased, the equilibrium shifts to right and the formation of the reactants is favoured.
3. if the reaction temperature is kept constant, the system is at equilibrium and there is no shift to the right nor to the left.

Answer:
Explanation:
The usefulness of a buffer is its ability to resist changes in pH when small quantities of base or acid are added to it. This ability is the consequence of having both the conjugate base and the weak acid present in solution which will consume the added base or acid.
This capacity is lost if the ratio of the concentration of conjugate base to the concentration of weak acid differ by an order of magnitude. Since buffers having ratios differing by more will have their pH driven by either the weak acid or its conjugate base .
From the Henderson-Hasselbach equation we have that
pH = pKa + log [A⁻]/[HA]
thus
0.1 ≤ [A⁻]/[HA] ≤ 10
Therefore the log of this range is -1 to 1, and the pH will have a useful range of within +/- 1 the pKa of the buffer.
Now we are equipped to answer our question:
pH range = 3.9 +/- 1 = 2.9 through 4.9
