Discussion:
Equilibrium Concentration from Keq and Initial Concentration
Part 1: what is equilibrium concentrations and concentration ratios of glucose-6-phosphate/glucose-1-phosphate in the phosphoglucomutase reaction when the initial concentration of glucose-6-phosphate is (a) .01 M and (b) 10^-3 M. The Keq for the reaction below is 19.
Glucose-1-phosphate ---> glucose-6-phosphate
Part 2: what are the equilibrium concentrations and concentration ratios of acetate/acetic acid in the ionization of acetic acid when the initial concentration of acetic acid is (a) .01 M, and (b) 10^-3 M. The keq for the reaction below is 1.62 x 10^-5.
Acetic acid --->acetate + H+
Why were the ratios the same in the first part but different in Part 2?
