The reaction of fumarate with water to form L-malate is catalyzed by the enzyme fumarase; Kc=3.3 at 37 ∘C. When a reaction mixture with [fumarate] =1.55×10−3M and [L-malate] =2.23×10−3M= comes to equilibrium in the presence of fumarase at 37 ∘C, what is the equilibrium concentration of fumarate?

Question

The reaction of fumarate with water to form L-malate is catalyzed by the enzyme fumarase; Kc=3.3 at 37 ∘C.

When a reaction mixture with [fumarate] =1.55×10−3M and [L-malate] =2.23×10−3M= comes to equilibrium in the presence of fumarase at 37 ∘C, what is the equilibrium concentration of fumarate? (Water can be omitted from the equilibrium equation because its concentration in dilute solutions is essentially the same as that in pure water.)

What is the equilibrium concentration of L-malate?
