Calculate the standard free-energy change, deltaG'o, for the reaction in which acetaldehyde is reduced by the biological electron carrier NADH in the reaction acetaldehyde + NADH + H+ → ethanol + NAD+. Then calculate the actual free-energy change, deltaG, when the acetaldehyde is 1.51 M, the NADH is 1.02 M, the ethanol is 0.13 M and the NAD+ is 0.19 M, at 33.35oC and pH = 7. Give the actual free-energy change in kJ/mol to one decimal place. See Table 13-7b for the E'o values.

*This is the value for free FAD; FAD bound to a specific flavoprotein (e.g., succinate dehydrogenase) has a different E" that depends
on its protein environment.
