Chapter 16, Problem 11P

Interpretation Introduction

To determine:

The free energy of hydrolysis of ATP by the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase

Introduction:

The free energy change, $\Delta G$for non-standard-state concentration is:

  $\Delta G=\Delta G^o+RT\ln \frac{\left[\text{Products}\right]}{\left[\text{Reactants}\right]}$

Where $\Delta G$is change in Gibbs free energy, $\Delta G^o$is change in Gibbs free energy at standard state, R is Gas constant, T is temperature, square brackets represents concentration.
