Glucose metabolism involves multiple processes including glycolysis, glyconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. A researcher experimentally determined that the work done from this metabolism process at 25 °C is -2315 kJ mol¹¹. Infer if the work done is equivalent to the maximum reversible work. Given that AU and AS are -2801.3 kJ mol-1 and 260.7 J K-¹ mol-¹ respectively.

A 220-ft3 sample of gas at standard temperature and pressure is compressed into a cylinder, where it exerts pressure of 2000 psi. Calculate the work (in J) performed when this gas expands isothermally against an opposing pressure of 1.0 atm. (The amount of work that can be done is equivalent to the destructive force of about 1/4 lb of dynamite, giving you an idea of how potentially destructive compressed gas cylinders can be if improperly handled!)
It takes 2260 J to vaporize a gram of liquid water to steam at its normal boiling point of 100C. What is H for this process?What is the work, given that the water vaporexpands against a pressure of 0.988atm? What is U for thisprocess?
How is the sign of q, heat, defined? How does it relate to the total energy of the system?
For the process A(l) A(g), which direction is favored by changes in energy probability? Positional probability? Explain your answers. If you wanted to favor the process as written, would you raise or lower the temperature of the system? Explain.
The statement Energycan beneithercreatednor destroyedis sometimes used as an equivalent statement of the first law of thermodynamics. There areinaccuracies to the statement, however. Restate it tomake it less inaccurate.
What is the second law of thermodynamics? For any process, there are four possible sign combinations for Ssys and Ssurr. Which sign combination(s) always give a spontaneous process? Which sign combination(s) always give a non-spontaneous process? Which sign combination(s) may or may not give a spontaneous process?
