Chapter 10.1, Problem 5RIA
Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the reaction that has a large negative ΔGo value, is an exergonic or endergonic reaction.

Introduction: Exergonic reactions are those reactions for which equilibrium constant is more than 1. Endergonic reactions are those reactions for which the equilibrium constant is less than 1.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The condition indicated about the equilibrium constant of the reaction.

Introduction: Exergonic reactions are those reactions for which equilibrium constant is more than 1. Endergonic reactions are those reactions for which the equilibrium constant is less than 1.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the reaction will proceed rapidly to completion if displaced from equilibrium.

Introduction: Exergonic reactions are those reactions for which equilibrium constant is more than 1. Endergonic reactions are those reactions for which the equilibrium constant is less than 1.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the free energy made available will be more or less.

Introduction: Exergonic reactions are those reactions for which equilibrium constant is more than 1. Endergonic reactions are those reactions for which the equilibrium constant is less than 1.

For this reaction: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2, the products have 2760 kJ/mole more free energy than the reactants. So, which of the following statements best describes the reaction? a The reaction is endergonic because it converts molecules with less free energy to those with more free energy. b The reaction is exergonic because it converts molecules with less free energy to those with more free energy. c The reaction is exergonic because it converts molecules with more free energy to those with less free energy d The reaction is endergonic because it converts molecules with more free energy to those with less free energy.
The following questions are based on the reaction A+ B ↔ C+D shown in Figure 8.1.   1. Which of the following terms best describes the progress of the reaction with respect to free energy change? a) endergonic, ∆G> 0 b) exergonic, ∆G> 0 c) exergonic, ∆G< 0 d) endergonic, ∆G< 0   2. Which of the following in Figure 8.1 remains unchanged by having an enzyme included? a) b b) d c) a       d) c   3. The part labeled “C” on the above graph represents a) Energy of activation without enzyme b) Energy of activation with enzyme c) Amount of free energy released d) amount of energy required for the reaction progress
How does the rate of the forward reaction compare to the rate of the reverse reaction for an endergonic reaction? For an exergonic reaction? Explain.
