Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether Reaction 1 at equilibrium or Reaction 2  not at equilibrium does any work or not.

Introduction: The equilibrium constant represents the relation between reactants and products in a reaction at equilibrium. The concentrations of reactants and products are constant at equilibrium. Under conditions of a biochemical reaction, free energy (G) is defined as the amount of energy available to perform work.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction Q → R is 25. Solve, (a) If 50 μM of Q is mixed with 50 μM of R, which way will the reaction proceed to generate more Q or more R? (b) Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of Q and R.
Which of the following statements is true? (a) The largerthe Q, the larger the ΔG°. (b) If Q = 0, the system is at equilibrium.(c) If a reaction is spontaneous under standardconditions, it is spontaneous under all conditions. (d) Thefree-energy change for a reaction is independent of temperature.(e) If Q > 1, ΔG > ΔG°.
Calculate the value of AG, if the value of AH is +1200 Kcal/mol, AS is +60 Kcal/mol, and the reaction takes place at 300 K. Once you calculate the value of AG, you can predict the reaction is +16800 Kcal/mol, non-spontaneous/unfavorable - 16800 Kcal/mol, spontaneous/favorable -19200 Kcal/mol, spontaneous/favorable + 19200 Kcal/mol, non-spontaneous/unfavorable
