Question

You are studying a reaction wherein compound X is dehydrogenated to yield compound Y, and in the absence of a catalyst you have determined that the delta G^o under standard conditions of pH 7 and 37^o (RT = 0.59 kcal/mole) has a value of +1.2 kcal/mole.

If you start with 150,000 molecules of X, how much, if any, Y will be generated when you reach equilibrium? Explain your answer.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Given data

The given reaction is an uncatalysed dehydrogenation of X to give the product Y.

$Δ G^{\circ} = 1.2 kcal/mol$

Temperature = 37^oC

The product of universal gas constant and temperature, RT = 0.59 kcal/mol.

Number of molecules of X = 150000

We have to determine the number of molecules of Y present at equilibrium.
