Many biochemical reactions that occur in cells require relatively high concentrations of potassium ion (K+). The concentration of K + in muscle cells is about 0.l5 M. The concentration of K+ in blood plasma is about 0.0050 M. The high internal concentration in cells is maintained by pumping K+ from the plasma. How much work must be done to transport 1.0 mole of K+ from the blood to the inside of a muscle cell at 37C, normal body temperature? When 1.0 mole of K+ is transferred from blood to the cells, do any other ions have to be transported? Why or why not?
Chemists and engineers who design nuclear power plants have to worry about high-temperature reactions because it is possible for water to decompose. (a) Under what conditions does this reaction occur spontaneously? 2H2O(g) 2H2(g) + O2(g) (b) Under conditions where the decomposition of water is spontaneous, do nuclear engineers have to worry about an oxygen/hydrogen explosion? Justify your answer.
The synthesis of glucose directly from CO2 and H2O and the synthesis of proteins directly from amino acids are both non-spontaneous processes under standard conditions. Yet it is necessary for these to occur for life to exist. In light of the second law of thermodynamics, how can life exist?
What types of experiments can be carried out to determine whether a reaction is spontaneous? Does spontaneity have any relationship to the final equilibrium position of a reaction? Explain.
When a copper wire is exposed to air at room temperature, it becomes coated with a black oxide, CuO. If the wire is heated above a certain temperature, the black oxide is converted to a red oxide, Ct120. At a still higher temperature, the oxide coating disappears. Explain these observations in terms of the thermodynamics of the reactions 2CuO(s)Cu2O(s)+12O2(g)Cu2O(s)2Cu(s)+12O2(g) and estimate the temperatures at which the changes occur.
