A key step in the metabolism of glucose for energy is the isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to fructose6-phosphate (F6P): G6P ⇄ F6P; K = 0.510 at 298 K.(a) Calculate ΔG° at 298 K

Respuesta :

The ΔG° at 298 K is  1.665 kJ/mol or  1665.45 J/mol in key step in the metabolism of glucose for energy is the isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to fructose6-phosphate (F6P): G6P ⇄ F6P; K = 0.510 at 298 K.

Calculation ,

Formula used for for energy is the isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to fructose6-phosphate (F6P):

: ΔG° = - RT㏑K                 ( i )

Given equilibrium constant ( K ) =  0.510

Temperature in Kelvin ( T ) =  298 K

Universal gas constant ( R ) = 8.3 J/K.mol

Putting the value of temperature ( T ) , equilibrium constant ( K ) and R in equation ( i ) we get ,

ΔG° = - RT㏑K

ΔG° = - 8.3 J/ K.mol × 298 K ×㏑0.510 =  - 8.3 J/mol × 298 K × ( - 0.6 )

ΔG° = 1665.45 J/mol = 1.665 kJ/mol
