Consider the simple bimolecular reaction
Since the law of mass action governs reaction kinetics, the forward and reverse fluxes, J, can be defined as:
ΔG can be defined in terms of the ratio of forward and reverse fluxes:

- discuss the following statement: “Whether the ΔG for a reaction is larger, smaller, or the same as ΔG° depends on the concentration of the compounds that participate in the reaction.”arrow_forwardThe equation of the double reciprocal plot is y = 0.5294 x + 1.4960. What is the value of vmax (in M/s)? The substrate concentration is given in units of molarity (M) and reaction velocity has units of molarity per second (M/s). (Report to three significant figures)arrow_forwardAll of the following statements are true about the relationships between [S], Km and Vmax EXCEPT: а. As the [S] is increased, v approaches the limiting value, Vmax. b. Km= Vmax/2. The rate of the reaction, v, follows a first order rate equation v = K'[A] and K'= Vmax/Km. The rate of product formed, v, is at Vmax when [S] >> Km. с. d.arrow_forward
