Chapter 27, Problem 3P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The time required to last 8 mM of ATP when ATP consumed by muscle is $300\mu \text{mol/min}$ .The decrease in the concentration of the ATP before its complete consumption in the reaction needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The relation between $\Delta G$ and $\Delta G°\text{'}$ of the reaction is as follows:

  $\Delta G=\Delta G°\text{'}+RT\text{ ln}\frac{[\text{product}]}{\text{[reactant]}}$

Here, R is Universal gas constant, T is temperature, $[\text{product}]$ is concentration of product and $[\text{reactant}]$ is concentration of reactant.

The reaction is spontaneous if the value of change in Gibbs free energy is negative.
