Summary Introduction

Introduction: The chemical reactions are of two types, namely exergonic reaction and endergonic reaction. The type of reaction in which energy is released to the surrounding is known as exergonic reaction. This type of reactions is a spontaneous reaction and the Gibbs free energy (∆G) value for this reaction is negative. The type of reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surrounding is known as endergonic reaction. This type of reaction is a non-spontaneous reaction and the ∆G value for this reaction is positive.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction Q → R is 25. Solve, (a) If 50 μM of Q is mixed with 50 μM of R, which way will the reaction proceed to generate more Q or more R? (b) Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of Q and R.
Calculate the overall ΔG° (report up to two decimal places) for the net reaction (see attached image). Answer: _____ kcal/mol   Note: R = 1.98 x 10 -3 kcal/mol-K
A biochemical reaction transfers 60 kJ mol-1(15 kcal mol-1) of energy. What general process most likely wouldbe involved in this transfer? What cofactor (or cosubstrate) likelywould be used? Which cofactor probably would not be used?
