Chapter 18, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Standard free energy change for the pyruvate kinase reaction should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

In a cell, ATP is one of the major energies. By decarboxylating of the oxaloacetate and hydrolyzing the guanosine triphosphate, PEP is formed. PEP is abbreviated as Phosphoenolpyruvate.

The energy which is used to do work at given pressure and at given temperature especially at 1 bar and 298K respectively is called standard free energy change.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Equilibrium constant for the given reaction should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

In a cell, ATP is one of the major energies. By decarboxylating of the oxaloacetate and hydrolyzing the guanosine triphosphate, PEP is formed. PEP is abbreviated as Phosphoenolpyruvate.

When the reactants and products don’t have any change in the particular time, then it is called equilibrium constant. It is denoted as K

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Ratio of [pyruvate][PEP] should be calculated.
