Consider a general reaction A ( aq ) enzyme ⇌ B ( aq ) The Δ G ° ′ of the reaction is − 9.130 kJ ⋅ mol − 1 . Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction at 25 °C. K ′ e q = What is Δ G for the reaction at body temperature (37.0 °C) if the concentration of A is 1.9 M and the concentration of B is 0.80 M ?

Δ G =

K = 39.85

ΔG= -6.9 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The ΔG°′ of the reaction is − 9.130 kJ/mol

Temperature = 25.0 °C = 298 K

Body temperature = 37.0 °C = 310K

the concentration of A is 1.9 M

the concentration of B is 0.80 M

Step 2: The reaction

A (aq) ⇌ B (aq)

Step 3:

ΔG° = -RT ln K

⇒with ΔG° = standard Gibbs free energy change = − 9.130 kJ/mol

⇒with R = the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 298 K

⇒with K = the equilibrium constant = TO BE DETERMINED

− 9130 J/mol = - 8.314 * 298 * ln K

ln K = 3.685

K = e^3.685

K = 39.85

Step 4: The reaction at body temperature

ΔG= ΔG°  + RT ln [B]/[A]

⇒with ΔG° =  Gibbs free energy change

⇒with ΔG° = standard Gibbs free energy change = − 9130 J/mol

⇒with R = the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 310 K

⇒with [A] = 1.9 M

⇒with [B] = 0.80 M

ΔG= -9130 J/mol + 8.314 J/mol*K * 310 K * ln (1.9/0.80)

ΔG= -9130 J/mol + 2229.4J/mol

ΔG=-6900.6 J/mol = -6.9 kJ/mol

how about u try it first

1. the question asks the most appropriate, which seems to rule out "all of the above." your choice appears to be the correct one.

2. the protocol described is good for identifying correlation, but not cause and effect. for cause/effect, you need to devise a protocol that will assign the treatment (or not) to groups that have essentially the same "demographics" with respect to all the other variables. your choice regarding control group seems appropriate. random assignment of treatment (choice d) may be appropriate also. (i think you can argue that b and d are just different descriptions of the same method.)

3. d will randomize the birds, but may not guarantee there are 10 in each group. e will do both, so seems the better choice.

comment on question 2

based on the problem statement, it seems clear that confident, attentive drivers are more likely to use daytime running lights. so, the protocol might need to be devised in such a way that the lights would be turned on or off without the driver's knowledge. (an attentive driver will figure it out.) assigning a confident, attentive driver to a group required to drive without running lights might mess with his/her confidence and attentiveness. you don't want your experiment to do that. (nor do you want the experiment to subject a driver to greater risk of accident as a consequence of driving without running lights.) experiments involving human safety are always problematic.
