Question
Chapter 15, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation :
Significance of free energy change in the reaction is to be determined.
The relation between free energy change (DG) and standard free energy change (DG89) must be determined.
The relation between the equilibrium constants and the reactant and product must be determined.
Concept introduction :
A living being requires free energy input for three major processes. First is during mechanical work in cellular movements and muscular contractions. Second is during the active transport of ions and molecules across the membrane. Third is during macromolecular synthesis.
