For the uncoupled and coupled reactions glucose + phosphate → glucose-6-phosphate, ΔG°' = +13.8 kJ/mol glucose + ATP → glucose-6-phosphate + ADP, ΔG°' = -16.7 kJ/mol By how much does coupling to ATP increase the apparent equilibrium constant for the formation of glucose-6-phosphate? Given R = 8.315 J/mol · K. T = 298 K.
a) 1.2 times | ||
b) | 2.2 × 105 times | |
c) | 2.2 × 108 times | |
d) | 4.5 × 10-6 times |
G = -RTlnKc
G = 13.8Kj/mole = 13800joule/mole
13800 = -8.314*298lnKc
13800 = -2477.572knKc
-5.57 = lnKc
Kc1 = 0.0038
G = -RTlnKc
G = -16.7kj/mole = -16700kj/mole
R = 8.314 joule/mole-K
T = 298K
-16700 = -8.314*298lnKc
-16700/2477.572 = lnKc
-6.74 = lnKc
Kc 2 = 102.92 =831.7
Kc2/Kc1 = 831.7/0.0038 = 2.2*105 times
