Chapter 5, Problem 5.76P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Thermodynamic standard potential of pyruvic acid/lactic acid couple should be determined

Concept introduction:

Biological standard potential can be calculated using the given formula,

  $E^{\oplus }{\text{ = E}}^{\Theta }-\frac{7{\nu }_{p}RT\ln 10}{\nu F}\boxed{\begin{array}{l}{E}^{\oplus }\text{ = }Biologicals\tan dardpotential\\ {\text{E}}^{\Theta }\text{ = }S\tan dard\text{ cell }potential\\ {\nu }_p\text{ = No}{\text{. of H}}^{+}\\ \nu \text{ = No}{\text{. of e}}^{-}s\\ F\text{ = Faradayconstant = 96485C/mol}\end{array}}$
