Question
Chapter 25, Problem 25.28AP
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The products that result from the hydrolysis of the phosphate ester of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) are to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Phosphate esters upon hydrolysis produce the phosphate group and the alkyl group.
The stability of the reactants and products determines the extent of the hydrolysis reaction.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
It is to be explain why the hydrolysis of PEP releases much more energy than the hydrolysis of an ordinary phosphate ester.
Concept Introduction:
The energy released during a hydrolysis reaction depends on the stability of the products formed in the hydrolysis reaction. More stable the products formed, more is the energy released.
