Answer to Problem 15P

The reversible reaction between ATP and creatine moves towards the left side of the reaction.

Explanation of Solution

The given reversible reaction is given below.

ATP+creatinecreatinephosphate+ADP.

The standard Gibbs free energy for the conversion of ATP to ADP is ΔG°'=7.3kcalmol1.

The given standard Gibbs free energy for the conversion of creatine to creatine phosphate is ΔG°'=10.3kcalmol1.

Thus, the change in the standard Gibbs free energy for the conversions is calculated as follows.

ChangeinΔG°'= ΔG°' forATPtoADP ΔG°' forcreatine to creatine phosphateΔG°'=7.3kcalmol110.3kcalmol1=3kcalmol1

Thus, the value of the Gibbs free energy is 3kcalmol1. The negative value of Gibbs free energy indicates that reaction moves in the left hand side.

Answer to Problem 15P

The reversible reaction between ATP and glycerol moves towards the right side of the reaction.

Explanation of Solution

The given reversible reaction is given below.

ATP+glycerolglycerol3phosphate+ADP.

The standard Gibbs free energy for the conversion of ATP to ADP is ΔG°'=7.3kcalmol1.

The given standard Gibbs free energy for the conversion of glycerol to glycerol 3-phosphate is ΔG°'=2.2kcalmol1.

Answer to Problem 15P

The reversible reaction between ATP and pyruvate moves towards the left side of the reaction.

Explanation of Solution

The given reversible reaction is given below.

ATP+pyruvatephosphoenolpyruvate+ADP.

The standard Gibbs free energy for the conversion of ATP to ADP is ΔG°'=7.3kcalmol1.

The given standard Gibbs free energy for the conversion of pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate is ΔG°'=14.8kcalmol1.

Thus, the change in the standard Gibbs free energy for the conversions is calculated as follows.

ChangeinΔG°'= ΔG°' forATPtoADP ΔG°' forpyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvateΔG°'=7.3kcalmol114.8kcalmol1=7.5kcalmol1

Thus, the value of the Gibbs free energy is 7.5kcalmol1. The negative value of Gibbs free energy indicates that reaction moves in the left hand side.

Suppose you wanted to make a buffer of exactly pH 7.00 using KH2PO4 and Na2HPO4. If the final solution was 0.18 M in KH2PO4, you would need 0.25 M Na2HPO4. Now assume you wish to make a buffer at the same pH, using the same substances, but want the total phosphate molarity ([HPO42−]+[H2PO−4]) to equal 0.20 M. What concentration of the Na2HPO4 would be required?
