What is ΔG for the reaction at body temperature (37.0 °C) if the concentration of A is 1.6 M and the concentration of B is 0.50 M ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The Gibbs free energy is -2997.83 kJ mol-1.

Explanation:

The change in Gibbs free energy of the reaction [tex]\Delta G[/tex] can be calculated using the formula.

[tex]\Delta G = -RTlnK[/tex]

WHere R = Gas constant = 8.314KJ/Kmol

T = the temperature of the reaction in Kelvin = (37.0 + 273) = 310K

K = Raio of molar concentration of the two reactants = 1.6/0.5 = 3.2

Therefore,

[tex]\Delta G = -8.314 \times 310 \times ln (3.2) = -2997.83 kJ mol-1[/tex]

Therefore the Gibbs free energy is -2997.83 kJ mol-1.

The negative sign indicates that the reaction is spontaneous.

The ΔG for the reaction at 37° C =   - 2997.83 kJ mol-1.

We can determine the value of ΔG using the formula below

ΔG = - RT*In k

where ; R ( gas constant )=  8.314K  J / Kmol

             T = Temperature of reaction = 37 + 273 = 310 k

             K = Ratio of conc =  1.6 / 0.5 = 3.2

Insert values in equation above

∴ ΔG = - 2997.83 kJ mol-1.

Hence we can conclude that the  ΔG for the reaction at 37° C =   - 2997.83 kJ mol-1.
