Question

Shown below are reduction potentials for four half-reactions. Which of the coupled reactions is favorable? (Note that for Cytochrome c you must multiply the reduction potential by 2 for each coupled reaction because only one electron is involved)

a) 2 Cytochrome c (Fe3+) + H2O ó 2 Cytochrome c (Fe2+) + O2

b) NADH + Succinate- ó NAD+ + Fumarate-

c) Fumarate-  + H2O ó Succinate- + O2

d) All of the above 

Half-Reaction
E" (V)
O2(g) + 2 H* + 2 e- → H2O
+0.815
Cytochrome c (Fe3*) + e → Cytochrome c (Fe2*)
+0.22
Fumarate + 2 H* + 2e- → Succinate
+0.031
NAD* + H* + 2 e → NADH
-0.315
