Interpretation:
The equilibrium constant for the given reaction should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The given equilibrium reaction representing the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate to glucose-6-phosphate,
Equilibrium constant, K for this reaction can be determined using the equilibrium molar concentrations of glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate as below,
Answer to Problem 7.76P
The equilibrium constant for the given equilibrium is 24.
Explanation of Solution
The given equilibrium reaction representing the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate to glucose-6-phosphate:
Initial concentration of glucose-1-phosphate is 0.10 M.
Equilibrium concentration of glucose-6-phosphate is
Setting up an ICE table for the equilibrium,
= 24.
Therefore, the equilibrium constant for the given equilibrium will be 24.
