Question

The standard free energy change, ΔGº‘ for the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate (glucose + Pi yields glucose-6-P) is +3.3 kcal/mol.

The standard free energy change, ΔGº‘ , for the hydrolysis of ATP (ATP yields ADP + Pi) is -7.4 kcal/mol.

What is the cellular free energy change, ΔG, if the concentration of glucose is 0.005 M, the concentration of ATP is 0.005M, the concentration of glucose-6-phosphate is 0.001M and the concentration of ADP is 0.001M?

Cellular temperature = 37 C

Gas constant = 0.00198 kilocalories/mol K

Temperature = C + Kelvin (C + 273.15)

the answer is supposed to be -6.1 kcal/mol but I am not sure how to get there - please show all steps
