In nature, one common strategy to make thermodynamically unfavorable reactions proceed is to couple them chemically to reactions that are thermodynamically favorable. As long as the overall reaction is thermodynamically favorable, even the unfavorable reaction will proceed. ▼ Part C Firefly luciferase is the enzyme that allows fireflies to illuminate their abdomens. Because this light generation is an ATP-requiring reaction, firefly luciferase can be used to test for the presence of ATP. In this way, luciferase can test for the presence of life. The coupled reactions are 1. luciferin + O₂ oxyluciferin + light 2. ATP AMP + PP₁ = AG-31.6 kJ/mol If the overall AG of the coupled reaction is -8.40 kJ/mol, what is the equilibrium constant, K, of the first reaction at 30 °C? Express your answer numerically.

When the temperature-time data graph was reviewed, it was found that an error had been made in determining ΔT. Instead of 4.76 °C, ΔT was actually 4.70 °C. Based on this change only, calculate the correct ΔH neutralization for the reaction of NH3, and acetic acid.
The standard free energy change for the hydrolysis of ATP is -30.5 kJ ATP(aq)+H₂O(1)→ADP(aq) +Pi(aq) In a particular cell, the concentrations of ATP, ADP, and Pi are 0.0031 M, 0.0015 M, and 0.0048 M, respectively. Calculate the free energy change for the hydrolysis of ATP under these conditions. (Assume a temperature of 298 K.)
A chemist fills a reaction vessel with 3.93 atm methane (CH,) gas, 1.61 atm oxygen (O,) gas, 5.89 atm carbon dioxide (CO,) gas, and 4.78 atm hydrogen (H2) gas at a temperature of 25.0°C. Under these conditions, calculate the reaction free energy AG for the following chemical reaction: CH, (g) +0,(g) CO,(g)+2H, (g) Use the thermodynamic information in the ALEKS Data tab.
